Fiallen Game 1
We saw the C’s first W of the season for our first game of the season. It was also Paul’s first game back. The announcer at the game got to tell the crowd, as the news said he wouldn’t be playing. The crowd went crazy. The picture of Quisy below from warm-ups came out pretty cool. We were at the scary game where he got hurt so bad. We like having him back.
As we have already celebrated Christmas with our Fiala family in Cincinnati during Oktoberfest and also already celebrated Christmas with our Allen family in Seattle over Thanksgiving – we had a little Boston Christmas together here in cold Boston. We enjoyed our day together very much, making overnight coffee cake in the morning before going to church, making a stuffed pork loin for dinner, and baking a few pumpkin pies. It was a lovely day.
We spent Christmas Eve with our boys. We finally made it over to Toro to try the dishes we had been told so much about. We had a great night with Gary & Daniel. They brought over cheesecake to cap off the night with dessert and some Le Reina del Sur.
The Celtics Open Practice is never anything all that exciting, but we still decide to go every year by the time it rolls around, because we are just so darned excited for the season to start. The excitement was only increased by the NBA lockout.
The Green versus White scrimmage was fun. There was a flurry of last second scoring and lead changes, culminating in an Avery Bradley 3 for the win.
The item of note this year, is that when they went through the whole roster and announced everybody, they didn’t mention Jeff Green – we definitely noticed and wondered what was up. The news wasn’t released until later about his heart condition. We will definitely miss him this season. We like him.
