  Maybe I didn't make myself clear.  I was talking about actually
experiencing the frenzy first hand, not reading about it in a newspaper over
a thousand miles away.
It's a different feeling when you're hearing about it from afar.  When you're
in the stadium, like Mark was, or in the arena, or even actually living in
the city during a Championship season....well, that's just about as good as
it gets.  I've only experienced that twice.

I've never lived in Boston.  My mother was born and raised in Lynn.  I used
to visit my grandparents at their home in Lynnfield when I was young. 
Although I lived on the East coast, I was too young to appreciate the Celtics
wins in the 60's.  By the summer of '74 I was already halfway across the
country.
  NBA coverage was never great in Kansas City and was almost nonexistent
after the Kings left town.  The Internet was in it's infancy.  I was young
and poor.

But hey, things change.  I'm not so young anymore and I have a few more
resources at my disposal.  Plus I'm lucky enough to have a husband who loves
sports (although he's really a college sports guy) and loves to make me
happy.  If the day ever comes, we will be there in Boston to enjoy it.  No
doubt about it.
