In the End the Good Guys Won

Happy Easter to the everyone and Happy Palm Sunday to Orthodox Christians around the world. How many of you expected a finish like today?! What a game and what a day. It was good vs not so good. A team built the way you should through the draft, trades and free agency. Another built by two so called stars conspiring to build a superteam. Two of the most cantankerous players I've ever seen.

Despite the Celtics not playing their best, when they needed to they came thru in the clutch. That last defensive stand and subsequent offensive set proved they trust in each other. They forced Kyrie to over dribble and pass the rock out to KD who was clearly affected by the Celtics D in which he threw up a garbage three that missed. Watching JB get the rock to the Wolverine who faked out two Nets that led to JTs winning shot while Kyrie flailed on D. A team that trusts each other is unstoppable.

The Celtics will have to continue to get better on Wednesday if they want to go up 2-0. There is plenty of room for improvement, if they didn't miss so many easy bunnies they could have won easily. In that third quarter especially the refs were slanted in favor of the Nets. Defensively they frustrated KD and need to keep getting in his space and face! Wednesday night they will need to shut Kyrie down, and force other guys to beat them. Despite his performance it's clear the fans own space in his head.

Your core 4 of JT, JB, Al and the Wolverine all had huge plays and moments which led to today's victory. Going forward we need them to continue this play and just clean up the turnovers. I'm still in awe of that final play with no timeout. Kudos to Ime for trusting his team, and it couldn't have played out any better. This group is still growing as a playoff team and today was the start of something special.

Bleed Green!

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...
