One of the strangest incongruities in my family is the fanatical devotion to the Philadelphia 76ers displayed by ( my mother. )

She calls them her "gang", & refers to Allen Iverson as "my little hoodlum". Anyway, when I called her last night, she was in a frenzy, watching the Sixers v. the Pistons in overtime playoff action.

She just passed the phone to my father without any comment.
