On the eve of the Lakers-Celtics game, I decided to go to TD Garden even though I had no tickets. I wore a yellow Lakers beanie and an army jacket with a private’s patch long since removed. As tip off approached, I decided to interact with some fans outside the arena, as I resisted intrusive thoughts to sneak into the game and watch. I wanted to experience the famed rivalry firsthand through the crowd — to witness the best rivalry in basketball.

For now, the year is 1863, and the place is Marietta, Ga. A young man kisses his love goodbye to head into battle, answering that rat-a-tat call to self-sacrifice.

This past Sunday I had plans to finally see Ayo Edebiri in the new film “Opus” (2025) at my local AMC. In preparation for this venture, I made sure to stop by the convenience store to spend my last pennies on my favorite sour snacks, hop on the Green Line extra early and queue up a great playlist for the roughly half-hour journey. Half an hour later, my train was frozen between the East Somerville and Lechmere stops. Soon, my playlist ended, my candy now seemed unappealing with a screaming toddler a few seats down and the trailers for “Opus” had definitely already begun. By the time we made it into Lechmere, the film had already started and I still had several stops to go.
