Back in the 1970's when Red Auerbach was managing the Boston Celtics, he would light up his cigar when he was satisfied they had the game won. There is something to be said for those moments of pleasure when you know you're going to win, while the game is still on. This was the situation early this afternoon when our Garage Sale had exceeded all expectations and it was time to open a Heineken that had been in the basement refrigerator since Jon's were here to visit. Much of what was "left over" has been loaded in the car trunk to be taken to the Et-Cetera store next week. There are still a few things left on the FREE pile but even that was very successful. (It will probably all be gone by morning). We not only got rid of a lot of stuff that we would never have used but we made a lot of people happy. And, as I remember, Red Auerbach's facial express when his team had it made, was not much more animated than mine.
