Dear Friends,

We drove up to Miami on Monday to see the Celtics beat the Heat. It is a long drive up the Florida Keys but a beautiful drive with ocean and gulf surrounding you as you travel up the island chain to the mainland. Then we entered a whole new world but got to see a great basketball game. I ran into Cedric Maxwell, former Celtic and radio announcer in the aisle and he sorta looked at me like he know me but we had only met once before in the picture here when I went down to Boston for a Celtic experience with former Small Dogger Katie Wilhite.

We cannot let ourselves make this the new normal.
