Though I’m currently taking applications, I haven’t yet met the girl of my dreams.That fact didn’t keep me from visiting the jewelry store this afternoon to buy an engagement ring.

She deserves my monogamous and unconditional love, at least until Danny Ainge makes a move I strongly disagree with in the future, at which point I will force her to sleep on the couch or maybe file for a divorce.But for now the Celtics’ offseason is sleeping in my bed, spooning the night away. I don’t even care if she steals all the covers because her scent alone is enou
