15. Oooh Cambridge - I jealous
Was there in the Winter of 96 - loved it. Everything in walking distance, sushi nearby (Hey - I'm a Californian!) and all the homes looked cool.

I just couldn't get over that Dunkin Donuts coffee...

4. When the Bulls won their 1st NBA Championship
in June, 1991 it was the same way in Chicago. Firecrackers, horns blaring, it was unbelievable.

Enjoy, enjoy, you guys really deserve this!!!!

7. Your guys played a hell of a last eight games
I can't remember the last time a team won eight in a row in the playoffs - not even the 1998 Yanks did that. Boston deserves this title, and this is coming from a lifelong Yankees fan. :)

9. I live at the foot of Mission Hill...
... and the racket is unbelievable. My apartment windows look out on the intersection of Huntington and Longwood, and you wouldn't believe the crowds outside.

Oh, by the way, does anyone know how the Sox did tonight?

I'm in KC and we hate the Yankees. We aren't too crazy about the Cardinals either.
