Please note the time change-Go Red Sox.

Out of nine lives, I spent seven
Now, how in the world do you get to Heaven?
Oh, you don't know the shape I'm in


Tonight will be my last as a member of the CSL team.

I am a "candidate for glaucoma " and have been advised to limit my computer use. I do not have glaucoma, but the pressure behind my retina was at a level which generally leads to it.

There is no damage to my eyes, the diagnosis was made timely and in fact, I had laser surgery on my left eye last Friday (right eye next Weds.) which lowered the pressure from 27 to 12. 21 is considered a danger point.
Since I use a computer continuously for my work, I will try to back off from most of my recreational use. No more fantasy hoops, no more show, limited message board use.

I had been spending 3-5 hours a day on these activities and will bring them down to a few 15-30 minute periods.
As I said, there is no vision loss at all and most likely there never will be, with periodic examinations.

Of course Celtics Stuff Live will go forward better than ever. "Jughead" and "The Duke" have some announcements to make; new co-hosts, media partnerships and expanded post game shows should be on the menu.

I do want to thank you all for the support you've given us over the almost three years the show has been running. It's been a great ride.

As for this week's show; I will be at Sunday's game and bring back any news from the Garden.

As the team gets closer to cut down day, speculation on the last roster spot remains.

We will also do our annual breakdown of the rest of the league. Who will be the contenders, the pretenders and the also rans ?

We hope you will join us.

If you want to participate in the show you can call our toll free number (1.866.751.9649), send us an e-mail to CSL@CelticsBlog.com, or join us in the “Pit” (the chat) during the broadcast.

Sorry to see you go. I listen to most every show and you will be missed. Hopefully you can come back occasionally as a guest without jeopardizing your eyes.
I'm sure you find other ways to stay connected with the Celtics. Thanks for all of your insights and dedication to CSL!

JB is our unofficial team historian, having seen his first game at the Garden back in 1952. He definitely has to stay on the air periodically. He embodies the heart and soul of a Celtics lifer.

Thanks for the kind words.
I've been posting on various message boards since 1997, the year of our saviour Pitino.
There is a wonderful community of fans, which has developed since those early days of AOL and MSM as the only portals to the net.
I have been inspired and nurtured by you all.
God bless;
JB
