A step into Celtics Fantasy prior to Game One vs. Nets

Even after 17 Title Banners, Celtics fans need a bit of Fantasy. Come with me for a few minutes

I want Tommy Heinsohn and Johnny Most broadcasting Game One between the Celtics and Nets tomorrow afternoon. Yes, I know they have both passed on, but can you imagine these two Boston "Homers" sharing thoughts on the return of Kyrie Irving and his Brooklyn Nets to TD Garden.



Many Celtics fans want this left alone, but I can't. It was Irving stomping on the center-court Celtics logo that did it for me. For those not aware, that Leprechaun logo was designed by Red Auerbach's brother, Zang. Okay, I also want Tommy and Johnny to get Red's take on all of this during half-time. 

Legend has it that leprechauns often engage in mischief. What better time to inject a few pranks into the Nets' offense than tomorrow somewhat after 3:30 PM ET. Leprechauns are also said to have a pot of gold hidden away, and that bit of gold known as the Larry O'Brien Championship Trophy does not belong to the 2021-22 Brooklyn Nets.


The Nets possess the 7th seed, while Boston holds the 2nd seed in the East. The Celtics need to win Game One tomorrow. They are now tough as well as talented, but they still need some good fortune. They could use some good luck from "Lucky", as well as some fortuitous blessings from above - from Red, Tommy, Johnny, Sam, K C, Hondo and many other Celtics no longer on a planet thought to be flat by a player regarded by me as a Celtics nemesis - Kyrie Irving.

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...
