He’s hooked

Elysha and I were out to dinner with friends.

Clara and Charlie were home alone.

In the middle of dinner, I received a text message from Charlie and a photo.

The message alerted me to the score in the Celtics-Raptors game.

The photo was of the television. The Celtics had switched back to the traditional parquet floor after changing it for a midseason tournament game.

Charlie and I hate the tournament floor. It’s a monstrosity. Charlie wanted me to know that sanity had been restored in the Boston Garden

My first and primary thought:

Charlie is watching the Celtics for the first time without me.

My work is done. He and I will share a love of the Celtics for the rest of my life.

Huzzah.
