"...as human beings we are capable of making sense of situations based on the thinnest slice of experience."

Malcolm Gladwell, author of Blink and The Tipping Point.

BOOK IT: Another football season is in the books and that's a good thing. Water cooler talk all day today centers on the game -- what a good one -- and the ads, which most people aren't that keen on.
