Bonjour everyone!!! Hope you all had a wonderful Christmas with friends, family and loved ones. It was a really cold and stormy day in Marina Del Rey, but my house felt warm and cozy as enjoyed some good food and the Lakers-Celtics game.   The Lakers put a stop to the Celtics' 19-game winning streak 92-83, thanks to Kobe 27 points and Pau tossing in 7 of his 20 points in the final three minutes. It was relief after their embarrassing 131-92 loss in Game 6 of the finals last June. Lakers are stepping up and getting the job done.  The Lakers attitude reminds of me of one of my favorite sayings: "NEVER NEVER NEVER GIVE UP".
