Celtics "Stop Sign", Enes Kanter, scheduled for drug test following block party

The NBA apparently didn't totally believe Enes Kanter's personal-best six blocks versus the Charlotte Hornets on New Years Eve was merely a spontaneous defensive outburst from a player not likely to be compared to block artist, Bill Russell, anytime soon. Boston's backup center appears to be scheduled for a drug test.



Enes has never averaged more than 0.5 blocks per game in his entire career, so the 6-block explosion caught the attention of the League - and thus the scheduled drug test. This has to be somewhat upsetting for Kanter, realizing his 13 points, 14 rebounds and six blocks in the 109-92 Celtics victory generated at least a slight suspicion that his energized play may have been generated by a banned substance. Stay tuned for the results of the drug test.

A sorrowful farewell to Kitty's Restaurant (North Reading, MA) as a family tradition

  Time to say "Goodbye" to Kitty's Restaurant - my   family's destination and tradition for six generations and more than 80 years. My memories of Kitty's go back to the early-1950's . I would accompany my dad and grandfather on fishing trips to the Ipswich River in North Reading, Massachusetts - followed by a visit to the restaurant on Main Street. In later years, my wife, Linda, and I would eat there with our two kids, Marc and Lisa - and years later - with our two grand daughters - and still later - with our great grandson, Carson. Author and family at Kitty's approx. 10 years ago Kitty's never disappointed. The drinks were big and well-made . The food was terrific - as were the portions. The service was exceptional and we became well-acquainted with the waiters and waitresses. It all worked so very well for many decades. My grand daughter, Courtney , was particularly fond of the restaurant. She was born with cystic fibrosis , and during her fr...
