I like your writing just fine sir - there's a fable element to your wordsmithing.
So don't get all worked up if after all we've been through that I get a little reactionary from time to time, especially when I'm posting from work and don't have the time to write a treatise about a few "workable" (God, I hate that fucking word so much now - Hubs poisoned it) pieces of "tech" (ditto).
Therefore, I reserve my right to SHOUT OUT
NO
Especially, since I'm right in the main.
Peace brother and Happy New Year.
P.S. Please help the Celts become the team we all hope them to be.
Celtics?
I was born in North Conway NH and after my parents' bloody divorce I lived with my father's parents until my mother and stepfather took me down to Taxachusetts. He was an Okinawa vet Marine Dartmouth engineer. His father was a Harvard Med School GP who lived in Reading. It was 1957 the same year Bill Russel came to Baahstin and bought a home in Reading next door to Dr. Baisley. I was then innocent of the stars...
I'm known as "Bird"
After my own tragically bloody divorce in 1980, as you may recall, Celtics fans then received an object lesson in just what "Bird" is all about...
I was a Celts fan and a Bruins fan when I was a kid but I'm all about Sox and Pats since I grew up - Ooo-ooo! I had Red Auerbach in my taxi in the 90's. It was a radio call to 780 Boylston apt. 17K, the apartments at the Pru. I pulled in and the concierge told me my fare would soon appear. He was tall, about 6' 2" and spoke in a gravelly voice telling me we would pick up his friend around the corner then stop in the north end for some lobster on the way to Logan. This guy had the kind of gravitas usually reserved for mafia dons and that was my make on my passenger; a guy who could have someone push the button on me and five minutes later forget I ever was. We picked up his pal and shooting up Stuart I heard them talking about Tommy Heinsohn and I checked my review and recognized the fellow of whom it was said "He was playing chess when all the others were playing checkers."
But I'm not really hooked into roundball these days though you might cross pollinate some of my "dimensional Kreemo" if you buy my book off Amazon; "The Amendment; Revised, Corrected and Refined" $6.00. I believe it's value to be augured by the recent Red Sox season...
