How much does Danny Ainge have left in the tank?

Danny Ainge has been the Celtics boss since 2003, and 18 years - and two heart attacks later - one has to ask, how much does he have left to continue in that role. We are not talking about a placid individual here. What most Boston fans don't know is that Ainge was tagged with having attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) via a personality test, along with his coach-at-the-time, Doc Rivers.

Danny has more Championships as a player (two) than he has earned as an NBA Executive (one). His Title drought has expanded to 13 seasons without a ring. Over the past several seasons, he has faced the Kyrie Irving saga - defections by Al Horford and Gordon Hayward - and now the COVID-19 invasion.

None of this favors a guy with ADHD and a history of heart attacks. His team sits in fourth place in the Eastern Conference with a 12-10 record, and the projections had the Celtics better than that. Beyond that, Boston fans are restless. With one of the top duos in the League in Jayson Tatum and Jaylen Brown, the Boston Faithful expects more.

None of this has to sit well with a former player known for his competitiveness, combativeness - and yes, hyper, on-court activities - including wrestling with the likes of Michael Jordan and Tree Rollins. Red Auerbach was connected to the Boston Celtics for more than half-a-century (1950-2006) until his death in 2006. Danny obviously won't have such longevity with The Green, but he would like to have at least one more Title to his credit. That needs to happen in the next three years, or we may find Danny Ainge moving on to his next endeavor.

Rules of survival: When search-and-rescue turns into body recovery

How the Hell did this happen? Two days after 19-year-old Emily Sotelo was supposedly dropped off in Franconia Notch (NH) at roughly 5:00 AM ET, Sunday, November 20, 2022 by her mother, to hike several mountains alone, the search continues for the young lady. Photo by Linda Lane The information from news agencies indicated that Emily started hiking the trails while it was still dark. She was supposedly wearing only sneakers, a coat and workout pants. I can persona;ly attest that the weather in the area was very cold with high wind speeds, and gaining elevation on the trails would only add to the horrendous conditions. Ms. Sotelo was reportedly a seasoned hiker, but had little or no experience hiking in winter. At the peaks, temperatures on that Sunday dropped to zero degrees with a wind chill of minus-30 degrees. It is beyond my comprehension to imagine a hiker-of-experience tackling that kind of travel - in extreme weather - with only basic clothes and few (or no) supplies. I have hik
