Posted on by Catherine

Game 2 was the stuff of legends. Celts beat the Bucks 116:108. The teams are tied 2:2 heading into game 5 at the Garden tomorrow May 11, 7pm. Let’s Go Celtics!

Just Sayin’- Dan Shaughnessy had this article down before midnight. Impressive feat and fun read aloud with your family. It’s one to save!

Shaughnessy, Dan. “It Felt As If They Were Playing for Playoff Lives”. Boston Globe. May 10, 2022. Front page of the sports section in the print edition. Front page on line with updated headline: “A fourth quarter for the ages, a legendary dunk from Al Horford, and the Celtics-Bucks series is all even“.

Surf and Celtics- Boston Globe coverage

“I didn’t make out what he said,” humble Horford acknowledged after the game, “but the way he looked at me didn’t sit well with me. That got me going. At that point, something switched with me.”

In the already famous fourth, Horford postered Giannis with a dunk to tie the game, 80-80. Big Al drew a well-deserved technical for his antics, but nobody cared. Momentum had shifted and the Celtics were running downhill to victory.

Photographer Jim Davis didn’t miss a beat. The on line edition has more photos including The Essentials: The Elbow and The Surf

Marcus Smart and Jayson Tatum gravity defying, Cirque du Soleil athleticism is something else! Star Jaylen Brown’s steady cool. The TEAM is so impressive!

Fittingly, the surf’s been roaring all week. Celtics heart wave!

Heard You can call me Al this morning–wonder if they’ll play the instrumental in the Garden 😉

Paul Simon, Art Garfunkel, Bob Dylan, Robert McNamara, Norman Mailer, Maxwell Taylor & lots more

We just voted. It was easy. No lines. We understand if you don’t like the choices. You probably seldom do. But you still have to choose. We all do. That’s kind of the point of a democracy. We never get exactly what we want, but we all work together for the good of our country as a whole.

More importantly, there are MASS referendum measures on the ballot today that will most likely affect your life far more than the new president will. I woke up today with this song in my head. It’s Paul Simon’s satire of Bob Dylan and politics all wrapped up into one fun song on Simon & Garfunkel’s mega-hit album Parsley, Sage, Rosemary and Thyme (all of which we have growing in our garden). Listen, laugh, vote and feel better! Lyrics below the video…

I been Norman Mailered, Maxwell Taylored
I been John O’Hara’d, McNamara’d
I been Rolling Stoned and Beatled till I’m blind
I been Ayn Randed, nearly branded
Communist, ’cause I’m left-handed
That’s the hand I use, well, never mind

I been Phil Spectored, resurrected
I been Lou Adlered, Barry Sadlered
Well, I paid all the dues I want to pay
And I learned the truth from Lenny Bruce
And all my wealth won’t buy me health
So I smoke a pint of tea a day

I knew a man, his brain was so small
He couldn’t think of nothing at all
Not the same as you and me
He doesn’t dig poetry
He’s so unhip that when you say Dylan
He thinks you’re talking about Dylan Thomas
Whoever he was
The man ain’t got no culture
But it’s alright, ma, everybody must get stoned

I been Mick Jaggered and silver daggered
Andy Warhol, won’t you please come home?
I been mother, father, aunt and uncled
Been Roy Haleed and Art Garfunkeled
I just discovered somebody’s tapped my phone
