  The buttery-fingers-demon that enabled Eli to escape from the grasp of a hapless Pats defense and cost us a championship has finally been exorcised! The moment I saw the slip during the SB happen, I got up and left in disgust, vile I knew 19-0 was just but wishful thinking.
  
  The priest that was responsible for this: The Boston Celtics! Beating a Lakers team that I'm sure was the favourite to win it all. I haven't followed b-ball really since MJ left the building, so you have all the permission to call me a fair weather fan. But heck, that's home team we are talking about! And so I have every right to be proud of em!
  
  The one thing I'm not happy about is, why all this sports domination when I'm not there? Was I the bad luck they were all facing by my presence there? I mean, Red Sox is champions. Pats are runners up. Celtics are champions. And I heard something about the Bruins giving others a run for their money.
  
  What lends credence to my bad luck factor is the fact that I watched the Super Bowl. And see what happened. I did not even as much as glance at any Red Sox game and see how they did. I only got to know of the Celtics after a friend in Boston told me they were in the finals. Their great 24-from-behind comeback? I read about it in the paper. I then saw a comment 3N made about it on his blog and refrained from saying anything, lest I jinx them. When it was pushed to game 5, I said hata gazetti sitasoma. So it was with immense glee that the first sms I got this morning was from a Boston friend who said they were champs. Ah, a really really nice feeling to wake up to that!
  
  Too bad I won't be there for the celebration that is sure to be had. What a year for Boston sports. I'm sure everyone there is in a high of immense proportions right now.
  
  Time for me to now switch my focus to the local and feel great about our good guys Harambee Stars! Quick recovery to the injured among them, and great success to those flying to meet Zimbabwe on Saturday. Oh, and also great success to the Safar 7s team that same Saturday!
  
  Off to celebrate!
  
  Edit
  Okay, I had no clue of the score when I put this up. I just saw it. 131-92? That's not winning! That's THRASHING! The Lakers were tolewad their jerseys by the Celtics who promptly went ahead and mopped the floor of the Garden with them. I mean, how now? Auuuwiiii!!!! Okay, time to really go and CELEBRATE!

Blah blah blah

Fish cakes

Alas a fish cake.

Yet more fish cakes

Guess what ... yeah ... fish cakes.

The end of the fish cakes
