It feels like Christmas with Celtics in a new season/new era

For Celtics fans and this writer, today it feels like Christmas Eve. Every year starts a new season, this season feels like it could be very special. No one is looking at The Green to do much. Listening to the radio, all you hear is Nets and Fakers talk. As the NBA hits it's 75th year, wouldn't the Celtics winning it all be the best because the Celtics are the greatest NBA franchise of all time!

As I recall didn't Red Auerbach say the Celtics are a way of life?! We have seen through the decades players embody that by giving their heart and soul to the green and white. Too many to mention, but for Celtics fans these players are burned into our basketball memories! Memories that you can hear the radio or TV call in your mind!

On Wednesday this writers hope is that this is the start to something truly special. A new Coach in Ime Udoka with a hard working, let-your-play-define-you-attitude. Not a cry to the officials like every other team. The maturation of two Stars in Brown and Tatum. This season they both take that giant step into the upper portion of NBA stars. A deep roster filled with hard working players who are not afraid to fight.

The little kid in this writer is excited to see this team come from the ashes of last season and rise to the top! Like Christmas hopefully this season is the gift that keeps on giving! All the way to Banner 18!

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...
