Stuart,

  You think Larry was in a bad mood?  The other night at the Celts-Spurs game
I sat next to Red for the 3rd quarter (it's part of my Take Advantage of
Corporate Scum Seat Upgrade Program).  All throughout the game Red groaned
and mumbled to himself and just did not look like he was having a good time.
We won that game pretty easily so I can't imagine what he's like when they're
getting smoked by 30 against Houston or something.

  When I asked Red for his autograph at the end of the 3rd quarter he basically
gave me the same blow off Larry gave that kid last night.  5 minutes later
Red gave an autograph to some women in a red skirt that look liked it was 
painted on her.  Guess I'll have to bring a date next time to get an 
autograph at a Celtics game...  *sigh*


		Laytah,
