sports – Cambridge on a Lark

Notes from a Celtics game

Boston is a major sports town. That may seem obvious, but it was news to me when I moved here. Then again, I’m not exactly informed about sports. I didn’t even know that the Superbowl was upon us – or that the New England Patriots were playing in it – until I heard about it on NPR the day before.

Thus it was unexpectedly that I found myself at TD Garden watching a Boston Celtics game in December.

I sometimes avoid saying that I “run”, just like I avoid telling people that I have a BA in math. Because I’m not actually a mathematician, nor am I an athlete. I studied a little bit of math because I like it and it’s challenging and I didn’t know what else to do. I run a little bit because I like it and it’s exerting and I don’t know how else to exercise on the cheap.
