Really nice guy. I sent drinks to his table - figured it was the least I could do since he paid for a championship ;D He stopped by to introduce himself and thank us for the drinks. Waitress said there were rumors of PP and Ray in Oak Bluffs earlier in the week.

Yeah, I saw Paul in a hotel lobby yesterday morning.  I don't know what made them come here (The Vineyard) for a night in the middle of their Vegas trip.  He was a very nice guy, talking to whoever he saw in the lobby.  Had the same humor that you hear and see during his interviews.  It was a pretty cool thing to see him and have a little conversation right after they won the championship.  He definitely still had the I'm a World Champion aura and confidence about him.
"Take this down," said O'Neal. "My name is Shaquille O'Neal and Paul Pierce is the (expletive) truth. Quote me on that and don't take nothing out. I knew he could play, but I didn't know he could play like this. Paul Pierce is the truth."

It was the Wesley House in OB.  They were back in Vegas for that fight last night though so they're not on the island anymore.  Big Baby and Perk were also here a little while ago I was told.

They travel the country like I go to the grocery store. Oh well. MV is a nice place to be so don't blame them for stopping by.

i met wyc soon after the ownership changed, at the season ticket holder bbq at healthpoint.  he was really nice and down to earth.  i went with my wife that year and we were touring the practice facility alone, as everyone else was eating outside.  wyc was there, came over and introduced himself to us and asked if we wanted him to take a picture of my wife and i at halfcourt with the original banners in the background.  it was a nice gesture and a memory i keep with me.

that took some good restraint, I'd be like, actually honey can you hold the camera while I take a picture with an owner of the Celtics

I wonder if my wife will mind if I start calling her Mrs. SShorefan 2.0?  or maybe she still wants to be Mrs. SShorefan or perhaps is holding out for Mrs. SShorefan 3.0. 
I love my kids, call me a sap - it's true.
