I just want everyone here to know how much I've missed this place ... in other words, how much I've missed you people! I've spent the summer and fall in a third world country, fighting off parasites and disease as part of a medical outreach, (DWOB), and while that, (in and of itself), isn't much different than being here, (just kidding, guys ... I couldn't pass that one up, hehe!), it had absolutely nothing to do with anything pleasurable ... like sports or the Celtics! But seriously, you folks are some of the nicest, most intelligent and articulate people I've ever had the pleasure to associate with, and I sooooooo appreciate the opportunity to be back here spreading my verbal, (and often over-emotional), infection among you.

I've thought of all of you guys many times over the last few months, and wondered how you were all doing ... as well as what tack the conversation had taken over the off-season. I'm sorry I couldn't really say goodbye properly, but it was a very last-minute decision, and I had literally 6 hours between the time I agreed to go and the moment of departure. Well ... this year's Celtics season is going to be even more explosive and exciting than last year, I think, as we watch the starting five really start to gel, and observe the new "kids" getting their first taste of the "Big Show". With the injury to Tom Brady and the grim picture that paints for the Pats, this Green Team is going to be that much more important to my Winter sanity!

Anyway ... I'm not one to get mushy, but I love this place and all you guys, and you can't know how much you actually miss a place like this, until you get cut off from it for extended periods. Over the approximately 3 1/2 months I spent in the Ecuadorian jungle and mountains, I had only 2 or 3 chances to get onto the net for pleasure purposes, and it served only to remind me of just how important this blog had become to me over the previous 7 months. In short summation, I thank God that I have the opportunity to contribute once again to the discussion and discourse of "Celtics Blog" .... and I promise to once again do my very best to annoy the heck out of all of you, and make you all realize just how lucky you were while I was away! ;)

It's great to be back ... go Celtics!!

Great to have you back, Bahku!  Time to work your way back up the TP leaderboard, starting with one from me.

Welcome back my friend!!

Talk about dedication!! Bahku went all the way to South America through mountains and forests to convert the innocent unknowns into Celtic fans.

What, he was on a medical outreach program? Well, isn't converting to Celticsology a way of making oneself healthier? Oh that's right, being a Celtics fan can take years off your life and hairs off your head. I always get that mixed up.

TP for the TP guy. Welcome back, you're just in time!!

LOL. Reminds me of the time I didn't see my grandmother for like a month.

Sicilian guilt is a great thing. I rang her doorbell, waited for the door to open, she opened it and no smile. No "Hello". No "It's so great to see you." Just:

"So, you didn't die, huh? Thought you were dead when I didn't at least get a call."

Ahhhh, grandmotherly love. Now you guys know why the Italian mob is so tough. They were all raised by women like my grandmother.

You did have pretty good timing with your triumphant return.  Glad to have one of the brass back on board.

*doing my best darklord impression*

Hmm, I feel a presence in the Green.
The Green is strong with this one.

Good to see you back, I´ve missed your posts.
You´ll get a wet and warm TP from me.
In the summer of 2017, I predicted this team would not win a championship for the next 10 years.

3 down, 7 to go.
