Attention Must Be Paid (But Was Not) So I Rue Yesterday’s Playoffs Results

It was such an emotional day yesterday with it being the 100th anniversary of my mother’s birth and all that entails, that I did not heed the great Mildred Dunnock’s, (another mother, at least as a character in “Salesman” so it was “death” of a chance) advice, in the classic Arthur Miller play “Death of a Salesman.”

She admonished “attention must be paid.” She did so in both the film and on stage. I failed to do so in both the NHL and NBA, as it was “Thunder/Lightning” last night, two nice underdogs, that now have leads in their semi-final series.

Details will follow in another post, “Thunder and Lightning,” but for now the lament of not paying attention is running through me.

The horrible fear, the ANTI and other ANTIS, are on their way and now I must PAY (attention)?
