Picture this scenario if you will: You’re in the third grade, it’s the first day of school, and you’re sitting next to a new kid. You notice that on his shirt is your favorite superhero and you start talking. In addition to that superhero, he likes all the same stuff you do, and it seems as though you might have found a new best friend.

About the teams we’re handed, the people who hand them to us, and the strange comfort of knowing that some suffering didn’t follow him into whatever
