My Summer Lair

Around 4 p.m. on Sunday, January 26, 2020, I heard Kobe Bryant had died. Which is one of those times when your brain sputters and fails to turn over like an old car trying to start on a cold winter morning. This...does not compute.

It still hasn't fully sunk in; even as I see all the tributes from fans, from NBA players, from celebrities. Are we sure he is gone? I made a strong tea and hit record. I did not know what else to do or how else to process this. To accept this new reality.

Thanks for listening. (My Summer Lair will return this is just a one-off!)

Every Christmas break I pantlessly sit and watch and absorb a lot of pop culture (books, comic books, tv shows and movies) and then I have tea and I think a lot and I write a lot I’m recording a handful of My Pal Sammy episodes; this is my Captain’s Log...a record of some of the pop culture I've been consuming and some of the stuff I've been thinking about over my 2019 Christmas Break. I did this last year hence...Round 2!!

I'm Going to Break Your Heart

Thanks for listening.
