totally unrelated, but still important...

Last night the Boston Celtics eliminated LeBron James and the Cleveland Cavaliers from their run at the NBA championship. For those of you who don't know, I am a HUGE Celtics fan, and was lucky enough to be at the Boston Garden last night to witness this amazing game.
