    Brandon Ingram sees his Lakers tenure with more perspective
    LAKE BUENA VISTA, Fla. — The New Orleans Pelicans’ pursuit of a playoff spot isn’t looking particularly bright at the moment. But Brandon Ingram has been down before.
    Most recently, he was whiling away the four-month hiatus in his home in a New Orleans suburb, bunkered down with family and lifting weights in his garage. He longed for familiar courts in his home of Kingston, N.C., but he made do with what he had.

    It’s a ridiculous attachment. I’d be the first one to say so.
    The bathroom fixture, also known as the toilet, in my 1920s house is the original. And I just can’t part with it. It sits on the small square dark green and white tiles the house was born with. The wall tiles are a mauve color that could be described as garish.
