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!)
