Chatting with @NADNYC2BOSTON about the NBA GOAT. Everyone is always talking about LeBron vs. MJ in the vote. The more important question than that is what’s the rubric? How many points for championships? Playoff wins? Longevity? @espn @stephenasmith

PSA to those who make mistakes: There’s no need to give a long-winded explanation once you realize you’ve made a mistake. You just need to humbly say three words. Those three words are “Word? My bad.”

Last night, I met @YoYo_Ma at a @BostonSymphony event welcoming their new ED. Impromptu, we sang the Mozart cello/bassoon duet. Then, we exchanged numbers, and I woke up this morning to a text from him stating how much he liked my CD of music by Black composers. Is this real?!🤩
