I didn’t think I’d make it to this point. Or said another way, I really didn’t think about what my life would be after 32. The year 2001 represented the future to me, so 32 was always my imagined end point. And here I stand and remain….
One more year until the blowout.

On another note, I knew that Michael Wilbon would write what some of us were thinking. Thank goodness for the Red Wings or I wouldn’t have been able to properly enjoy what SHOULD be the best series since Detroit v San Antonio.
Well Jack Benny was 39 for a long time,keep up the good work Doc,who else is illuminating the NBA on the real side,I’m old school so I grew up watching Sam and KC coming off the bench to replace Cousey and Sharman, and going back to the bench once the lead was secrue.
You write, “The year 2001 represented the future to me, so 32 was always my imagined end point. ”
I feel the same way about 2000. As a kid I always thought about the fact that that was the year when I would turn 34. Never really thought about what life would be like in — say — 2008…
Keep on Keeping on. Love your blog.
