Beautiful. The section on kindness ( and the way those ideas pervade the whole piece) is lovely to both read and think about at a time that seems to value cruelty more. Thank you as always.

Really well done, Katie. The break to insert the piece on the Pagoda. And then the "going to the moon," exchange, is terrific. Hoping Lonnie has a quick recovery, as it seemed he was finally finding his legs in these last few games. He's another intriguing piece the Sixers are assembling in this lost season. Anyway, your writing continues to be a standout and life the emphasis on "kindness." More should focus here and maybe a little less on the stats.
