Journal entry by Joanne Negstad — Jul 27, 2018
Joanne and I have been fans of the Minnesota LYNX, the four time champions of the WNBA, for several years. With her mobility issues she didn't get to many games. Often I'd ride a bike to Target Center to watch the game live, while she'd watch on TV. It was fun to compare what I saw with what the camera showed and she could add data from the announcers.
The WNBA plays a summer schedule beginning in May and ends with a championship series in early fall. This year Minnesota is hosting the All Star Game which is tomorrow. Four LYNX players are among the All Stars; Maya Moore, Rebekah Brunson, Sylvia Fowles, and Simone Augustus. It's a game that likely Joanne and I would have watched together.
The two All Star Teams held a practice, open to the public this afternoon and I got to go! Why? More kindness! Since Joanne's death friends have been especially attentive to me. J & J invited me to go with them and also bring a friend, so L accompanied us. J & J, avid KYNX fans and season ticket holders, have gone out of their way to give me care. Not only did L and I get to watch practice we got to hang out with J & J. Kindness abounds!
Blessings,
Al
