Round 1, Game 1: Celtics v Heat



Whoooeeeee! What a game! What a win! (76-85). We yelled the whole game long – my throat is still hoarse.  We will miss KG next game, but what a game!  Also, TA won the 6th man award – then followed up with impressive D on Wade.  What a game.



We got pictures of “The Skirmish” – one is included after the jump.

Courtyard @ BPL

We had a nice Boston morning running (walking) errands around town, and then decided to explore a section of the Boston Public Library we hadn’t before.  The courtyard is beautiful.  We might start planning on spending more time after church on Sundays (it’s right across the Square from our church).

Red Sox v Rays







We made it to our first Red Sox game of the season. We love our Boston Sports.

Our Right Field Box seats were so good! (so good, so good! Ha!)

It had been drizzling all game long, and pretty cold, but we were prepared.  We dressed like we were headed to a Pats game – double pants, plastic ponchos, snow boots…

So there we are sitting in the drizzle all game, then all of sudden, 1/2 inning to go, they call rain delay!  WHAT?  We realized the game was tied, but really?  You can’t at least wait one more 1/2 inning of drizzle to see if we can end this in regulation?  Good grief.  Still a fun night was had!

Plus, we love being able to walk to and from Fenway from our place.  Also, we generally walk back from the Garden after C’s games too!  We’ve been getting our exercise in!  I guess while I’m mentioning it, we walked to/from the Wang (Atoms For Peace concert) and the House of Blues (Dropkick Murphys concert).  I’m like a Boston salesman!

***

So update, they didn’t honor tickets for people who were at the rain suspended game – instead they played it playground-style, finishing it the next night, before starting game 2 of the series.  Turns out the Sox lost (1-3) – kinda nice we saw a tie!

Atoms For Peace

Loving Thom Yorke & Radiohead

Leads to Loving Atoms For Peace.

We saw them at the Wang (which no matter that we’ve been there before is always astonishingly ornate and beautiful).

And Atoms For Peace was also astonishingly beautiful.

A great night.

Celtics v Cavs & Happy Easter

Happy Easter!  We made that fun French Toast Casserole again.  So good.

We also went to the Celtics Cavaliers game!  Some of the crew who was in town for Philip’s shindig was still in town for the game, and they had tickets across the arena from us.  We had ridiculously good seats again.

It was an awesome game.  Such a good win (113-117).  And as our 12th and last regular season game we are attending, our Win Attendance Percentage is .500 – wow.   Their actual Home Win Percentage was .634… I could do a student’s t-test to figure out if our presence was statistically significant in its detrimental effect on the C’s.  But I will keep that to myself.  Let’s see what else can we figure out here.  We attended about 30% of the home games this season, that felt like a good amount – week night games are rough.  We have tickets to some playoff games we are excited about though!

More fun pics after the jump…
