Racing into Indiana


      Queta with an excellent block on one end and a dunk on the other. The Pacers are shooting the lights out and it feels like Mondays game. Cs have their work cutout for them yet again. Cs have made some solid plays offensively but their defense needs work. What a horrendous first quarter, they better wakeup or are going to get crushed. Cs come out here in the second and are finally playing basketball.

     Cs only trail by five so they have a decent shot at completing this early comeback. Given how poorly they started, I have a feeling they are going to comeback and win. There's plenty of time left here in the second to do so. Although when Derrick White starts missing free throws it gets me worried. Cs have the ball only down one. JB to the line and we have the lead. Derrick White scores with the midrange jumper. Cs are up by five and the Pacers need a timeout. 

     That first half by Payton Pritchard was absolutely spectacular. JB has looked really good here in the third. Knocking down shots that only he can hit. He's been playing at an MVP level all season. Nice seeing Sam Hauser getting his groove going. His shot has looked flawless here in the third. It's amazing how poorly the Pacers are this year without Hali. Their pieces just don't fit without him, they should be in the lottery this year. Cs have built their lead to fifteen. Cs are rolling! 

     Cs still hold a sizable lead here in the fourth. If they play their game it should end up in the W column. The Cs will hit the road and hope to grab more wins. Looking at who they are playing they could sweep this road trip. Cs should expect one more run from these Pacers. Solid win for the Cs tonight! Celtic Pride,!

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...
