Number 17

Open letter to the Celtics:  Thank you.  Thank you for another championship for Boston.  We are living in the golden age of Boston sports, but this championship is one of the sweetest because it was won in the city.  It's easy to be a sports fan when you're here in Boston, and honestly I take it for granted, but a championship is never taken for granted.  Congratulations.  Another parade is in the works, and I'll be there.  BRING ON THE DUCK BOATS!

Then on to '09.

P.S. Doc, thank you for not letting Sam I Am the Freaky Alien play.  I TOLD you it was for the better!
