This Group Just Feels Different

By

The TIME IS NOW... This season to me feels much different than last year. It also feels more comfortable than when we made the Finals. I was watching last night, and despite a slow third quarter start they found a way to finish that quarter with a lead. The defense went into another gear and JT said screw three pointers I'm getting inside and ripping that rim. If this was any other concept of this team that may have not happened. 

There have been a few unexcusable losses from my stand point but all winnable games. Except for the Bucks which was a loss from the start. This group I feel knows how to win. They also don't get anxious, I believe there is a confidence they can do anything. The addition of Jrue specifically gives me a feeling he is unflappable. He's so even keel and smooth like a great whiskey. That is going to pay dividends in the playoffs. With KP he spreads the floor in a way they haven't had in years. He's a threat on both ends of the floor. He as well is very even in his demeanor. The entire team for the most part has a solid cool vibe. The Jays show emotion which I love but in a controlled way. DWhite is a guy I would love to play with, he has ice in his veins and never lets anything get in his way. What ties it all together js Jedi Master Al Horford whose wisdom keeps them connected. 

I know Joe has his issues last season, but with his staff this group is instilled with the confidence they can do anything. What will be key going forward is securing home court advantage, keeping guys healthy, and giving everything to Banner 18. At the moment and of the day it's just a game and I know that. Yet there's something beyond special in the sports world when the C's win. They are THE FRANCHISE when it comes to basketball. We don't claim five titles that belong to Minneapolis, a bubble title and a manufactured in season tournament debacle title. We are the freaking BOSTON CELTICS!

A sorrowful farewell to Kitty's Restaurant (North Reading, MA) as a family tradition

By
  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...
