Part of Marcus Smart is made of glass. Lessons from his past life.

No, The Wolverine doesn't have a glass eye, but rather, there are still fragments of glass embedded in his right hand from when he punched a picture frame in 2018 ( per CelticsBlog's Keith P. Smith):

Following the game (Celtics-Pelicans), Marcus Smart was spotted rubbing and flexing his right hand. When asked if his hand was sore, Smart revealed he still has glass in his hand from punching a picture frame in 2018. Smart also said at times he has trouble finding feeling in the hand because of the glass. That makes his 12-assist night even that much more remarkable.

It appears the picture-punching days are over and we see Marcus orchestrating the offense with precision and control. He seems to be doing that in his personal life also.

Smart's late mom, Camellia, used to tell him, "Calm your ass down". Looks like he has done that. The following from one of my previous articles:

But Marcus said it best recently. He views basketball as the calm center of a violent storm - his safe refuge. Nothing can hurt him there. The world can be going nuts - which it is, by the way - but Smart has his haven - and that is within one of the finest sports organizations in the world.

Not a true point guard, huh? It's not just the number of assists (12) against the Pelicans. Those successful passes were done "Smartly" - with precision, at the right time to the right teammate - and most of all, under control. His mom would be proud.

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...
