It was 70 years ago today.
December 8, 1952.
My first U of L Cardinals basketball game.
Jefferson County Armory.
Louisville 89, Purdue 85.
My parents said they were taking me to a basketball game.
How could I have known it would be the beginning of a lifetime love affair?
The singular lifelong love of my existence.
Of course there have been others. Only the Joanly, my ex-. Our rescue beagle, Abbey, the Sad Eyed Lady of the Highlands. New Orleans JazzFest.
But none of those for almost the entirety of my whole long time here on earth.
