Jeannette headed back west to her parents for quick weekend visit to assure herself that all was well on the western front. It was a great visit with getting to see family and a new puppy, catching up on some family business and also taking some time to hit the shooting range.
Fiallen Game 23
After watching Wade break Rondo previously, we no longer held out much hope for our postseason, but we were prepared to go and be a part of a good Garden crowd one last time this season. Turns out, we almost stole one more game from the Heat we had no reason winning. But by the final minutes, the Celtics had the loss, and we knew we had probably seen our last game this year – and maybe for two years if the NBA and the Players Association can’t sort out their issues.
Also, Arroyo doesn’t understand Celtic ways. At halftime, during a playoff game, he was over chatting it up with his old teammates and shooting hoops on their side, warming up with them! Unbelievable. Ray Allen finally pulled him away – I only wish it was KG who corralled him. Unbelievable. Video of that below. I honestly couldn’t believe my eyes.
We have new seats next season (whenever that will be), but we really enjoyed Section 330, seats 9 and 10 – especially our neighbors! Go Celtics!
MIT is having a big party for its 150th anniversary year. As a part of the grand who-ha there was an awesome arts, science and technology festival – basically all sorts of art and technology installations all over campus. It was pretty darn incredible. The photos below are just a sampling – you really should check out the website. Many installations were interactive, responding to the amount of traffic driving across the Mass Ave bridge, or how many people were sitting on pods, or other motion or activity-based light and movement installations across the institute.
We have now walked 160 miles to raise awareness of the hunger issues in our neighborhoods and the funds to support the fight against hunger. We want to send our sincerest thanks for your support this year (and past years) of our efforts. This was our 8th walk with Project Bread and The Walk For Hunger. This year, 42,000 people joined together to raise $3.6 million to provide food for 448 emergency food programs in our cities and towns. The funds will provide a hot meal or a bag of groceries for hungry families next winter.
Thank you for helping us raise over $1,200 in an effort to affect positive and systemic change to prevent hunger. Also the team we started at Baker House has now raised over $30,000 to fight hunger! We are proud.
Project Bread advocates change in our community and, while feeding the hungry now, attempts to implement changes to END hunger for the future. It is an organization we believe in and have chosen to support for the last eight years. We cannot express how grateful we are for your generosity and support in helping us strive for change in our community.

It was a gorgeous day for a walk this year and we started bright and early so we would be done in time to watch the Celtics game. After we crossed the finish line, we walked another mile back home and back to our pub to watch the game and finish off our mug cards! We figured it was a grand way to celebrate another successful Walk – we our now proud mug owners at our local pub.
