today and tomorrow/April 11


At Another Time This Would Be Important
I’m not going to let the virus stop me from writing about one of my favorite topics: the Bulls. I stopped paying attention to them a few years ago — a decision that involved a lot of grief.  The losing and lack of imagination turned me away.  It took a lot. Because the Bulls made me smile.  They brought me joy.

Yesterday, hope arrived.  New management!  Arturas Karnisovas is here with a solid, successful record.  This is a Bernie “from the bottom up” story.  The fans kicked and screamed and demanded change.  For years.  Long years.  When the NBA All Star game played here last summer,  billboards went up around town demanding change. Maybe we shamed them into action.  Maybe they counted the empty seats.  Whatever is was, “we did it!” 

Let’s give the new guy — Arturas Karnisovas —  a great nickname.

Hope is hard earned right now.  I’m looking in the closet for my red T-shirt.  I will find it.
