Thank you so much. And yes, about midlife challenges being no joke - just like I did as a new mother, I feel sucker-punched by the whole thing. Either I wasn't paying attention, or nothing could have prepared me for how this would feel. I'm pretty sure it's the latter, although I actually wasn't paying great attention.
I don't think I knew this about you... believe it or not... how could that be?? When I lived in NYC I religiously followed the Pat Riley Knicks. I watched when OJ in his white Bronco interrupted and I and everyone in the packed Columbia University area bar were furious. I watched in a jam packed Avenue B Bar as Ewing's tip in rolled off the rim. I watched when Starks dunked over Michael Jordan and the Garden erupted. Memories I'll never forget. Thanks for helping me relive them again with another great "newsletter." And sorry about your mom. I went through something very similar with my stepdad. It's rough, I know.
I don't follow basketball, but this essay was so good. Thanks for sharing and best of luck with all of it - these midlife challenges are not kidding.
