Even though we take the noise and chaos of the modern world for granted most of the time, if we take a moment to really process it, we may get a feeling of being profoundly overwhelmed.

(The ladies and ice dancing competitions are next weekend.) Jeremy Abbott, who delivered what Hamilton referred to as a "beat down" to defend his title, was the talk of Sunday's men's free skate.
