Happy New Year?

Yes. I am eager to see 2021 depart. And yet, I can't honestly say I'm similarly eager for 2022 to begin.

Given the nation's political mood, which seems to favor a morally-bankrupt conservatism over a democracy which seeks inclusion and a smattering—however faint—of equality, things look pretty grim.

But the Chicago Bulls' re-do is blossoming right under our noses, catapulting them from underachievers to contenders. The anticipated chemistry problems betwixt LaVine and DeRozan and Vucevic haven't materialized, with the play of all three elevated by the acquisitions of Lonzo Ball and Alex Caruso.

Add the number-one steal of the 2021 NBA draft (Ayo Dosunmu) and things look as bright as they appear dark nearly everywhere else.

That said, I will wish everyone a Happy New Year as we leap—however cautiously—into 2022.

May your god watch over you. And us.
