You got me again, unawares as Tom Wingfield called it. On my flight very early this morning. The Knicks parade! Sleep-deprived-weeping at the gist of truth you touched in me with your essay. Throat-aching tears streaming down my face, my neighbor in row 13 concerned. I can’t really begin to explain — it’s joy — it’s connection with a different fellow traveler. Like the high fives! The wormhole this championship has been to my 11 and 14 year old self. The everybody parade was the final release (we’ll hope) after Covid. Deep thanks 🙏🏼

Bravo!! You have done it again...capturing the euphoria of the Knicks win and subsequent insanity of the celebration in the city. You are on a streak of great pieces. I only wish that Tommy G was here to share your extraordinary talent. He would be so proud of you as are your Mom and me.

When can we expect the next entry. Mind you, no pressure. Bravo again. So good

I really enjoy your writing and your reminiscences, Amanda. We are actually cousins. Your mom and I are 2nd cousins. My grandmother and your great grandfather were sister and brother.
