I'm also from Brookline.
I moved back to Boston a year ago after living in Rome for two years.  It's difficult being a devoted fan from really far away.  I remember how starved I was for Celtics news while I was over there.  I would search the internet for anything related to the Celtics.  Celticsblog was a savior for me during that time.
While I was in Italy I also signed on for NBA.com streaming audio broadcasts of the Celtics and would stay up until 4 am listening to games, jumping around my home office in my underwear angrily or celebrating, depending on how the Celts were playing.  Good times, good times.  Everyone thought I was crazy...but they all loved soccer in the same way.
Anyway, its awesome that you guys are fans despite your distance.  Respect.
Yo, Allaboutthegreen - are you Brookline born and raised?  Did you go to BHS?
