Why Raftery is an all-timer is he makes little comments, you'd say to a friend at a game. With Maryland having .3 seconds remaining from the end line down two. "Put Grant Hill in" Hill is his co-analyst.
“I said I’d always wanted that kind of relationship and now I did. We did. I told her I left an otherwise good relationship because it didn’t support writing. She said I was a shit, and that she left a marriage without leaving a note.”
Oh, Tod I’m so sorry. Sounds like a delicious friendship. Better to have a short glorious ride with an empathic friend than a long slogs with many others.
I hope you write more about the friendship. I also hope you read( if you haven’t already) D. Hall’s “Essays After Eighty.” One of my favorite books.
GS: Bravo on the opera & I loved eavesdropping on the joy and tears you and your wife shared over what you heard. 💞💞
