I watched a lot of basketball tonight. Most of last night’s Blazers win over the Lakers. Some of the Raptors over the Celtics. And the first half of the Jazz-Warriors game. All really good stuff.

And I definitely enjoy watching basketball, especially with how Steve Kerr and the Golden State Warriors have changed the game with excellent spacing, passing, shooting and pace.

I also watched the first 30 minutes of the massive “Basketball: A Love Story” documentary. Although I definitely like basketball it’s a like not a love.

I was a never a good shooter, pretty slow and awkward. I like playing basketball but never got the love. There was even a pickup game at the old Westbrook, Maine high school gym next door. I went once or twice and felt usually outclassed by college and high school aged kids.

It helps to be a good athlete to excel at basketball. Which I wish I was but really am not.

It’s easy to underestimate how good LeBron James is at basketball.

I am very curious how he does with the Lakers this year.

I think they make the playoffs if not the finals.

It should be fun.

I read a Neil Holburn poem today worrying about drugs affecting his ability to write poetry.

I worry about this too but I still take them everyday.

Mania is no fun and it just wrecks the brain after for very harsh depressions.

Psychosis is no fun either.

I planned go to the zoo today but brr cold and was feeling lazy.

I honestly do think we need lazy days and sabbaths for mental health.

And even know naps are good, although Lenny really, really wanted to wake me up today.

Seems like it’s moving to the cold part of the year. I finally turned the heat on yesterday. The time of leaving the a/c and the heat mostly off is over.

Thankful to have gas. Thankful we can afford it.

And at least the electric bill should go down.
