Celtics Pre Season Game 3

By


      Stat time! Our Boston Celtics took on the Cavs last night. We had several players in double figures. Hauser, White, Pritchard, Simon's and Minott. Given this season and the the roster shake up expect to see multiple scorers in double figures. I personally would pencil in JB, DWhite, and Pritch to be regulars in this department. Heck I may even throw in Hauser, Simons and Boucher. It's all hands on deck this season so why not! What we need to see is Queta and X take that next step given they are part of our rotation of bigs w new addition Luka Garza. 

     I'm kinda excited to see what Joe is able to get out of this roster. So far in these three games we are seeing a Coach who wants his team to rebound. If you aren't rebounding you will find yourself subbed out and on the bench! Which I freaking love! The more rebounds we can secure the better opportunities we have at pushing the pace. I feel defensively we have a group of guys willing to get nasty. Hardcore D, rebounding and pushing the pace is my kinda basketball. If we can excel in the post and midrange I just may lose my mind... in an incredible way!

     Good to great coaches are able to maximize their players to put them in winning situations. I see Joe doing that at an even better rate this season. I mean let's look at our New England Patriots, insert Vrabel and bam we are 4-2 and easily could be 6-0. Basketball especially but all sports give me a sense of joy. There's no better feeling than making that steal or grabbing that tough board. When you can humble another guy with your D I'd say it's successful. I was never a Supreme athlete but heart and hard work brought me to who I was as player. Watching guys like Larry and MJ gave me the blueprint of the player I wanted to be but at a lesser level of course. I want Celtics fans to circle Minott on all GameDays and track the winning plays he makes. 

     Let's Go Celtics fans! I for one am excited to see this year's puzzle come together! Celtic Pride Always and Forever.

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...
