Memory #23: Warm Christmas

On December 24, 1982, the high temperature was 60 degrees in Wakarusa. A day later it was 65. I remember this. I played basketball outdoors in shorts. On December 25, 1998, it was 87 degrees in Kingston, Jamaica. I remember this as well; I played basketball outdoors. On December 25, 1981, it was 86 degrees in Campinas, Brazil. I played basketball outdoors.

I’m sure I played basketball outdoors on many other colder, snowier Christmas days, but those are much more forgettable.
