Five more things...

One for each reader...

1) I have never been to a Celtics game. For that matter, I don't think I've ever watched one beginning to end on TV.

2) I have never been to a Bruins game. I might have gone to a Providence Bruins game once, but I don't remember. I did go to a Boston Braves (the hockey team, not the baseball team, I'm not that old) game at the old Garden once. They became the P-Bruins, right?

3) I sat one row behind an injured and not competing Olympic star Sasha Cohen at the 2001 US Figure Skating Nationals, and will forever regret not asking her to pose for a picture with me.

4) I have only been to one Patriots game. It was an exhibition game against the Rams, the second game ever at the then new Schaefer Stadium, since demolished. Roman Gabriel was the Rams QB at that time. I've only been to one other event there, a David Bowie concert, and I drove a van load of girls, which made it bearable.

5) I have been to dozens of Red Sox games, including the second to last game of the 1967 Impossible Dream regular season. Even while still in elementary school, we used to take the Mattapan trolley, (new pic, classic) unescorted, to afternoon games. And look how I turned out. Take that, all you helicopter parents. I haven't been to a game in over ten years though.

Special, bonus for Gewilli and Il Brucie:

6) Despite generally losing interest in motorsports, and not going to any races since the 80's, Gewilli, Il Brucie, and Solobreak went to a NEMA Midget race at Seekonk Speedway this past summer. Brucie's uncle graciously hosted us at a trackside VIP dinner tent. I had asked them to keep it a secret, you know, to protect my uptown image. Well, now it's out. I feel cleaner now. Thanks for reading.
