And it’s true that it kind of stung to lose by one point to Pittsburgh as time expired after what I think was a remarkably smart coaching decision by the Steelers to set up their comeback. But the truth is that at last the end-of-the-year activities, both professional and personal, have finally caught up with me and there feels like a crushing amount of stuff to do.
