I will be at Celtics vs Warriors Thursday night. I'm picking Celtics, but there are 2 reasons I won't slam it. First, it's the first hoe game after a road trip. Second, Celtics record with 2 days rest between games is 1 - 6. Of course if Tatum could drop another 51...

Man, I stink at this, but we're only half way through the season so maybe I can get on a hot streak

So I lied to you people. I told you I would be at Celtics vs Warriors, but I didn't make it. My wife and I both tested positive for Covid-19 on Tuesday, so our presence at TD Garden would not have been welcomed. We are recovering nicely so far, but neither of us has any stamina. We have heard that it might be a month before we feel right.
The really fun part of the whole thing is that we lost Internet service on Tuesday evening, and it just came back tonight. It affects our land line as well, since with our high-speed internet we use the fiber to provide VOIP phone service. Add to this that we live in an area where the mobile phone signal strength is astonishingly poor, so communication with anything other than signal lamp or semaphore is not possible. Covid felt like the worst headache I've ever had superimposed upon a worse than average case of the flu. Avoid it if you can.
