“Not yet.”
I’ve sent that text several times in the past couple of days. I’m usually responding to some form of the question, “Are the Houston Rockets...good?”
I’m a pessimist by nature. I believe the worst-case scenario is certain to happen, and as a Houston sports fan, I’ve been right far more often than I’ve been wrong. The Astros have tried their best, but even their unmitigated success has failed to soften my defeatism. It’s the hope that kills you, after all.
And yet, it’s getting harder and harder to ignore what’s happening in Houston.
