I saw a tremendous basketball game tonight, in this year's Playoffs, with the Boston Celtics vs. the New Jersey Nets.
The Celtics used to be the franchise of basketball. They won a tremendous number of championships - but since Larry Bird retired, I don't think they've even been in the running. Longer-time fans than I can correct me if I'm wrong.
It didn't seem any better by the third quarter of this game... they were trailing by an embarassing 26 points at one time - on their home turf (the Fleet Center) yet.
Fourth quarter, they really turned things around, going from a 26 point deficit to a win by four points.
That's the kind of determination I like in the Playoffs.

This was almost an inevitability, but the remains of Chandra Levy were found yesterday.
While over a year has passed, making finding the murderer difficult, I think many have an idea where blame can lie, at least as the man who ordered it: Gary Condit.
I hope this doesn't remain an unsolved mystery. We have enough of those.

I showed my new apartment to a friend tonight. He came over to help me pack, and after we were done, we went there.
The bus to get there didn't go close enough. We had a two block walk from the bus stop that left me exausted. On the way back though, bus connections were easier.
He definitely feels the new place will be a major step up for me, with the neighborhood much better. I still see the place as much smaller; something I'll really have to get used to.

In exactly one week, I'll be in my new apartment.
I still have a lot of packing to do, and even with friends coming here to help me, the speed-up in packing seems negligible.
Oy.
