Lenten Confession

Just by sheer force of habit, I accidentally clicked over to the Boston Globe sportspage and -before I could avert my eyes - I saw that the Celtics had actually won a game. Against a good team! Talk about a Narnia moment. Seeing that the Celtics had beaten the Rockets was more surprising than running across a run-of-the-mill faun. I actually have had no trouble so far with avoiding sports news, but I'm starting to wonder what wonders will have happened by the time Easter rolls around. Will the Celtics have won yet another game? Will the Yankees be poor and winless? Will people care about hockey? It's going to be exciting to find out . . .
