Just a few weeks after Paulson & Co. sold off more than half of its holdings in the SPDR Gold Trust ETF (GLD) in the second quarter, investors are moving back into the precious metal.
GLD is trading up about 0.5% on Friday and should end the week up about 2% vs. a 2% decline for the S&P 500. At the same time, volatility in the markets is down about 1% today, but should end the week up 6%.
As gold futures rose about 2% on Thursday, JPMorgan analysts said in a report, "This may be delivering an exclamation mark to define the end of the 10-month, 25% fall in gold and 50% fall in gold equities."
In general, the Federal Reserve's quantitative easing program has a negative impact on the dollar, is viewed as inflationary and hence improves the outlook for gold, long seen as an inflation hedge.
For the past month, the SPDR Gold ETF has improved 5%. During the last four weeks, volatility has ticked up 2%, while the S&P 500 has been flat.
Gold futures prices have lost about 19% this year, but are set to finish the week with gain of roughly 4% this week, their largest weekly gain in five.
"China and India remain large physical buyers of the metal," the JPMorgan report noted. "We believe this highlights that enthusiasm for the metal remains strong amongst the majority of the world's population."
On Thursday, the World Gold Council said that recent falls in the gold price had led to "significant increases in demand, most notably from consumers in China and India" versus demand during the year-ago period.
"Globally, jewelry demand was up 37% in Q2 2013 to 576 tons from 421 tons in the same quarter last year, reaching its highest level since Q3 2008," the council said in a press release.
"In China, demand was up 54% compared to a year ago; while in India demand increased by 51%. There were also significant increases in demand for gold jewelry in other parts of the world: the Middle East region was up by 33%, and in Turkey demand grew by 38%."
At the same time, purchases of gold bars and coins expanded 78% globally in Q2. "In China, demand for gold bars and coins surged 157% compared with the same quarter last year, while in India it jumped 116% to a record 122 tons. Taking jewelry demand and bar and coin investment together, global consumer demand totaled 1,083 tons in the [second] quarter, 53% higher than a year ago."
But consumers weren't the only purchasers. The council points out that for the 10th quarter in a row, central banks were net buyers, picking up 71 tons, reinforcing the trend that began in Q1 2011.
This surge has raised concerns, for instance, with the leaders of India's central bank. The county's gold imports were $2.9 billion in July, up from $2.45 billion in June.
Investors in the U.S. and elsewhere see these signals as a sign that they should get into the act too, experts say, raising the prospects for higher prices for the week of Aug. 19.

Cats learn by experience. If something is pleasant, they will want to do it again. If it is unpleasant, they won't want to keep doing it. Before training your cat, determine how well she will respond well to training. Familiarize yourself with the different breeds of cats and their temperaments. It is also a good idea to spay or neuter your cat. Not only does this benefit your cat's health, it reduces or eliminates many behavior issues, such as spraying or howling while in heat.
Scratching is a normal behavior in cats. Cats have scent glands in their feet and when they scratch, they not only sharpen their claws, but they mark scent as well. Cats will also scratch before, during and after play; after awaking to get a good "stretch" and when protecting themselves from animals or humans which they find threatening.
Outdoors a cat will use a favorite scratching area, usually a particular tree. It will return to this tree both from habit as well as to freshen its scent, very similar to the male dog who routinely lifts his leg on the same tree or in the same spot every morning. Unfortunately, the cat's favorite spot may not be appropriate to you. For example, his favorite scratching spot may be your stereo speakers, leather sofa or your curtains. The longer your cat has used this favorite site as his scratching post, the more difficult it may be to retrain him. Time and patience are the key.
You should not punish the cat for scratching in undesirable areas. Punishment will only teach the cat to mistrust you or not to scratch in the area when you are present. It can also make the problem worse or create other bad behaviors, such as urine marking. There are two steps to redirecting the cat to an appropriate scratching post. First, make the cat's scratching area unappealing to him. For example, if your cat enjoys sharpening his claws on your sofa, cover the area with aluminum foil, plastic wrap or cheese cloth so the area becomes less desirable. You can also use repellent sprays (citrus or menthol scented) which have an offensive odor to cats, but will not harm your furniture. Prior to spraying, you must remove the cat's scent by shampooing the area. It may take a few tries before you find what deterrent will work with your cat. Another method of discouraging your cat from using an inappropriate scratching area is to booby trap the site. Fill an empty soda can with a few pennies and tie a piece of string to the can. Tack the string across the scratching area. When the cat scratches, the can will fall on the cat. Most cats will never return to that area again. To ensure that they do not, keep the trap up for at least a week or two to reinforce the negative result. The first step only discourages the cat from scratching in particular areas. Now, you must teach kitty where it can scratch.
It is very rare that a cat will just approach a store-bought scratching post and know that this is where the owner wants it to scratch. You must take time to teach him to use it. Never force your cat to use the post. If you do this, the cat will only associate the post with something unpleasant. Cats do not like to be forced to do anything: instead, entice the cat by having positive things occur near the scratching post. There are several ways to get your cat interested in the post. If your cat likes catnip, rub some on the post and place come special treats at varying levels of the post for rewards. Feeding your cat near the post will often spark interest in the post. Lure your cat to the post and have the cat chase an object on a string up the post. Once the cat feels the material and begins to scratch, reward it with a special treat and praise. Always keep the scratching post in an area where your cat usually sleeps. Cats usually stretch upon awakening and will look for a desirable area to scratch. If the post is nearby, the cat will learn to use this post as a stretching zone.
The scratching post must be long enough (three feet or more) for your cat to stretch on. It must also be sturdy so it does not teeter when the cat begins to scratch. Sometimes it is necessary to have a variety of posts with different surfaces scattered around the house in order to find one which your cat enjoys. This is less expensive in the long run that replacing your furniture, carpets and draperies.
If you have made every attempt to teach kitty to scratch in appropriate areas, but have been unsuccessful, a short-term solution is to use commercially made plastic claw covers that are glued on to cover the nails. These do not provide a long-term solution and cannot be left on the cat forever.
The key is to begin training early. You must be consistent, patient and careful not to become angry or frustrated. If you cannot supervise your kitten or cat during this process, restriction to one room is mandatory. Freedom is earned when the cat proves itself to be reliable to follow the rules throughout the house. Putting the time in to teach your cat what is expected of him will give you great rewards.
Walk On A Leash
Yes, it is possible to teach your cat to walk on a leash! As long as you make it a pleasant experience, your cat should come to enjoy this time with you. To start, select a harness that fits your cat - not too loose so your cat slips out, but not too tight where she feels restricted.
Before going outside, put the harness on your cat and attach a lightweight leash. Let her drag the leash around and chase it. Once she associates harness and leash with playtime, you can move outside. Still taking it slow, take your cat out into your yard. Let her get accustom to being outside; let her explore at her own pace. If she needs coaxing, offer her treats when she comes to you, or have another family member stand at a distance and offer her treats. Once she starts walking on the leash, let her lead the way - within reason of course. Remember that anytime you take your cat outside, she may be exposed to fleas, parasites, some diseases and other dangers. Please take every precaution to keep your cat safe!

The majority of parcels will require a signature on delivery.

If the country you require delivery to is not shown please email or telephone us on +44 (0)1603 559250 for an accurate shipping quote.
Purchases for customers outside the EU are tax free. Please note however that you are responsible for any duties which may be payable upon the arrival of your goods in your country.
Payments from overseas customers will be processed in GBP Sterling and the receipt will also show GBP Sterling prices. Your card issuer will charge you the Currency Exchange Rate in use that day and this will be shown on your statement. Any refunds made will also be in GBP Sterling using the Currency Exchange Rate in use that day meaning that your refund may differ slightly from the original payment. We accept no responsibility or liability for this.
Regrettably there are some items we currently are unable to ship internationally due to the likelihood of them being damaged in transit or because they are not suitable for use in some countries. Should this be the case, we will notify you and issue a refund.
Additional charges
We reserve the right to make an additional charge for particularly bulky or heavy parcels that result in an additional delivery cost.
Incorrect or incomplete addresses
Please note it is your responsibility to ensure you enter your address correctly and completely during checkout. Regrettably we are unable to check addresses to ensure they are as they should be and we are not liable for any inconvenience or disappointment caused by delays in delivery or due to items being returned to us because they cannot be delivered.
Returned items
If goods are returned to us due to an incorrect/incomplete address, not being collected from a local Post Office or courier depot, or due to any customs duty not being paid, the customer will be liable for the cost of sending them again. If this is not acceptable, the order will be cancelled and a refund issued less any delivery cost.
Lost in transit
On rare occasions goods may be lost in transit. Should this happen we will replace them providing a replacement is in stock. A refund will be given if no replacement is available or the goods are no longer required.
For a delivery to be classed as lost a reasonable amount of time must have passed. For goods sent by Royal Mail this is 16 days. Consequently we cannot replace or refund an item until 16 days have passed since posting. We will of course attempt to trace and resolve any delayed deliveries in the meanwhile.
Royal Mail and the couriers we use take goods lost in transit seriously. If an item is lost, there will be an investigation with the recipient usually being contacted as part of this. If the loss is regarded as suspicious, it is possible the police may be involved.

One of the fundamental cornerstones of Borg's scope designs has been excellence in performance as astrographs - high-performance objectives combined with uniquely high-performance flattener/reducer elements, specially designed for imaging.
This astrograph utilizes the new Borg 4-element ED super reducer, which is optimized for digital imagers, yet covers a full 35mm-sized frame. The astrograph also includes built-in filter holders as well as a camera rotator for flexible image composition. Borg helical focuser is standard, but motorizable Feather Touch focusers are an option.
Focal reducers are optimized for specific distances between the optical components and the image plane. For the F4 focal reducer, these are accomplished through the use of calibrated spacers for specific focal lengths. Two 63mm diameter spacers are provided for the front (between focuser and front reducer lens assembly), and two 58mm diameter spacers for the rear (between the rear reducer lens assembly and the camera adapter).
Provision for the attachment of filters is via a a 55mm diameter filter thread on the front reducer lens assembly (for semi-permanent filter installation) and via an easily removed filter holders which accommodate 52mm or 48mm filters. A camera shutter cable can be attached to the focal reducer assembly to make removal of the filter holder a simple operation which does not disturb the optical train. Additional filter holders are available for quick changes between filters.
The ED77II Package includes the following components: 77EDII Objective Assembly (2178), Tube (135mm long) and Drawtube Set for Series 80 OTA (7135), Drawtube Holder (7753), Helical Focuser M – M68.8 (7835), and F4 ED Super Reducer Set (7704).

The festival that installs outdoor pianos throughout the boroughs for anyone to play is returning to the city this summer.
Sing for Hope Pianos will take 88 rehabbed pianos, ask artists and school children to customize each with crazy colors and designs and then plant them throughout New York City's streets and parks and let anyone — and everyone — plink their ivory keys.
The two-week festival first debuted in 2010. It returned the following year under the name Pop-Up Pianos but took a backseat last year due to lack of funding
It's making a comeback through a major donation from the New York-based Greek yogurt company Chobani.
The festival is part of an outreach program by Sing for Hope, a grassroots group of over 1,000 artists who volunteer to make art broadly accessible to everyone.
The pianos, mostly donated uprights but also some grands, will be placed in some of the most iconic New York City spots this summer such as Times Square and Central Park and in more remote places like the Far Rockaways, Staten Island and areas underserved by the arts.
"We're sort of an artists' Peace Corp," said Sing for Hope co-founder Camille Zamora. "The idea is that some people don't get a chance necessarily to have access to great art, like in hospitals and the elderly. There are children in our city who do not have regular arts education."
After the festival ends, the pianos are donated to local organizations, schools and hospitals where artists volunteer yearlong, bringing workshops and concerts in music, dance and the visual arts. Groups can request and get more than one piano, as the New York City Housing Authority's youth chorus had done.
"The piano is kind of the hardware for the software of our programming that goes on year round," said Zamora, who founded Sing for Hope in 2006 with fellow opera singer Monica Yunus, launching the first piano festival in partnership with British artist Luke Jerram in 2010 when 60 pianos were featured.
"We have a huge waiting list of organizations," she said. "There's such a desire for this kind of programming."
The festival doesn't start until June 1, but it's already humming with activity since the logistics for setting it up are quite complex: Finding "piano buddies" to look after the pianos once they're on the street; assembling a team of technicians to keep them well tuned; and, of course, getting all the pianos into a large warehouse where artists will transform them into works of art.
The application process for artists, from professionals to emerging to students, is currently under way to paint the 88 pianos (the number stands for each key on the piano). Past artists have included Isaac Mizrahi and Julian Schnabel.
The pianos call to mind another whimsical art installation that took over the city in 2000 called "Cow Parade." About 500 life-size fiberglass cows, each decorated by a different artist, were strewn throughout New York and later auctioned to raise money for local charities.
But unlike the cows, pianos are sensitive to the vagaries of weather. That's where the piano buddies come in. Their main responsibility is gauging when it will rain and covering the instruments with a tarp.
And while professional pianists volunteer to go around and jam on the instruments, Zamora said the program's success lies in the people "who literally never touched a piano before and sit down and start plinking out a song and find they have a voice."
"That's the main message. Everyone belongs. Everyone's invited. Everyone can play."

Will it Grill?
You may have seen some of the unusual things that blend on the Will it Blend? videos. Turns out, you get some pretty interesting results when you put things like footballs, marbles, Glow Sticks, and a new 3G iPhone into a blender (some blend, some not so much).
Inspired, I decided to start my own series of experiments -- Will it Grill?
I tried steak (yes), watermelon (yes), ice cream (nope), cereal (depends - Kashi yes, but Fruit Loops exploded into a multicolored fire ball), and avocados (yes).
The avocados were excellent. If you want to find out for yourself, here's how to grill an avocado:
- Select a ripe yet somewhat firm avocado and slightly chill it.
- Cut it in half and remove the pit. Brush it with olive oil and sprinkle with salt and pepper.
- Place it right away on a medium-high grill flesh-side down for about 60 seconds. Grill marks should be present, and the flesh should be lightly caramelized yet intact.
- Eat immediately.
You could also add it to this spicy Grilled Shrimp and Avocado Salad, the third Satisfying Super Salad in my series. What's so super about this salad? It's high in protein, fiber, and monounsaturated fats, which means you'll stay full longer and eat less afterward.
With chewy shrimp, silky avocado and crunchy jicama, it's highly textured, which makes it satisfying to eat. And for the really good news: each serving is approximately 300 calories, has 13 grams of protein, 15 grams of fat (from good-for-you monounsaturated olive oil and avocado) and virtually no sodium. Learn more about why avocados are good for you.
Tomorrow I am going to try to grill the remote control for the TV (please don't tell Jeff).
Grilled Shrimp and Avocado Salad
Makes 4 servings
Print recipe only here.
16 extra large or jumbo shrimp, cleaned and deveined
2 teaspoons olive oil
1 teaspoon lime juice
salt, to taste
1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
8 cups spicy mesclun mix
1/2 cup sliced jicama
1/2 cup mini heirloom or cherry tomatoes, halved
2 small avocados, halved and pitted
a bit of olive oil for brushing
the juice of half a lime for sprinkling
salt and freshly ground black pepper
1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
1 tablespoon orange juice
1 tablespoon lime juice
pinch of lime zest
1 tablespoon honey
1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
Salt, to taste
Preheat a grill outdoors or a grill pan for indoors.
Add ingredients from cleaned shrimp through cayenne pepper into either a large Ziploc bag or a plastic container, shaking well. Refrigerate for 20-30 while preparing the rest of the salad.
Add mesclun to a large bowl with diced jicama and halved cherry tomatoes.
For the dressing, whisk all ingredients in a small bowl and set aside.
Remove the shrimp from the marinade; place 4 shrimp per skewer. Grill for 2 minutes, flipping once, or until the meat is opaque and the outside is lightly charred.
When grilling, use ripe yet somewhat firm avocados. If they're too squishy, then they won't retain their shape well. Slice avocados in half and remove the pits. Brush avocado flesh with a little olive oil and season with salt and freshly ground black pepper. (Since avocados oxidize, or turn brown quickly, don't slice them until you are ready to place them on the grill.) Place avocados flesh side down on a hot grill for 1 minute. Grill marks should be present, and the flesh should be slightly caramelized.
To grill indoors, preheat a grill pan over medium-high heat. Rub a thin coat of olive oil on the pan so the avocados won't stick. Place avocados flesh side down on the grill for 1 minute. Grill marks should be present, and the flesh should be slightly caramelized.
Pour the dressing on the salad (reserving a few spoonfuls to drizzle on top) and toss to coat well. Divide salad among 4 plates, and top each with 4 grilled shrimp and a grilled avocado half. Drizzle with the reserved dressing and serve immediately.

Harry Musgrove is my great uncle – my maternal grandfathers brother. He was born 17 November 1889 to parents Thomas Musgrove and Ellen Stowell.
I have been lucky enough to find Harry's WW1 service record on www.ancestry.co.uk.
Harry enlisted in Clitheroe, Lancashire on 11 November 1915 – six days before his 26th birthday. At the time he was living at 11 Brownlow Street, Clitheroe and working as a 'weaver'.
He served as a private in the Royal Army Medical Corps (RAMC) and his service number was 103760.
It looks like Harry was initially assigned to the 'home hospital' reserve in Blackpool, Lancashire. Then in May 1917 he 'volunteered' for overseas service – see below.
next information about his service shows that he was in Corsica from 9 June 1917 to 31 December 1918. Harry returned home at the beginning of 1919 and according to his service papers was 'demobbed' on 23 February 1919 and transferred to the Class Z Reserve.
There is a note in the papers addressed to the Officer in Charge at the Queen Mary's Military Hospital, Whalley, Lancashire. This note was sent with Harry's 'medical history' sheet on 16 January 1919. On one of the documents is stamped 'sick and wounded' but I can't find any information about Harry's condition at the time.
The Queen Mary's Military Hospital was formerly the Whalley Asylum. It was used as a military hospital until June 1920. There is also a military cemetery attached to the hospital.
Queen Mary's Military Hospital
Harry married Edith Hitchen on 20 January 1940. He died on 25 November 1974 – eight days after his 85th birthday.

High thread count bed linen doesn't mean higher quality as more threads can actually make bed linen heavier and less breathable. Our bed linen is designed to complement our suprememly soft, lightweight duvets, the benefits of which are lost when encased in a heavy, high thread count duvet cover. Furthermore, the right weave makes a world of difference. Most of our bed linen is therefore woven with 220 threads per square inch in a Percale weave because it's proven to last longer and breathe better than any other. Choose from our plain white or yarn-dyed gingham or striped styles that look great, as well as ensuring you feel comfortable all through the night.

Since I'm in San Diego, I won't be building snowmen anytime soon (it was in the '70s earlier this week). So I've been occupying myself with a different winter pastime -- experimenting in the kitchen with the "quats."
After my success with Coconut Lemonquat Cake, I was inspired to keep baking.
So I wrote my next Kitchen Window article for NPR on kumquats, where I have recipes for:
- Watercress and Endive Salad with Kumquats
- Kumquat and Dried Cherry Chutney
- Tilapia with Kumquat Citrus Butter
- Coconut Kumquat Tea Cake
Orangequats (also called mandarinquats) are a citrus hybrid of kumquats and oranges. Don't let their diminutive size fool you. These remarkably juicy fruits have a big, bold orange flavor that is twinged with tartness. Like kumquats, the entire fruit is edible, including the thin rind. Just watch out for a couple of tiny seeds inside that need to be removed (or spit out, when no one's looking).
Orangequats are wonderful for savory salsas on top of pork and seafood or sliced atop a salad of bitter greens such as frisee. For sweet dishes, try them sprinkled on top of a bowl of vanilla ice cream, sliced and dipped in chocolate, or baked into cakes and muffins.
These sprightly yellow muffins taste and look like sunshine has been baked right into them. When you bite into one, you'll taste hints of honey, ginger, and vanilla and find them chock full of plump, sweet golden raisins and flecks of brightly colored orangequats. So I'm sending them to Lia of Swirling Notions, this week's gracious host of the wonderful Weekend Herb Blogging, created by Kalyn of Kalyn's Kitchen. Don't despair if you can't find orangequats. These muffins are wonderful with navel oranges as well. I know, I've made and eaten both.
Honeyed Orange Ginger Muffins (Quat, Optional)
Makes 12 muffins.
Print recipe only here.
2 cups all-purpose flour
3/4 cup sugar
1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon salt
1/4 cup canola oil
1 egg, lightly beaten
3/4 cup freshly squeezed navel orange juice (about 2 oranges)
1/4 cup finely minced navel orange pulp (OR, if using orangequats, 3-4 de-seeded fruits, rinds included, minced until pulpy, about 1/4 cup)
1 tablespoon navel orange zest (about 1 orange)
2 teaspoons fresh minced ginger
3 tablespoons honey
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
3/4 cup coarsely chopped golden raisins
Place rack in center of oven and preheat to 375 degrees F. Spray a 12 mold regular size muffin pan with cooking spray.
If using orangequats, then de-seed them by slicing the fruits into rounds with a sharp pairing knife. Using the tip of the knife, gently pluck out the seeds.
In a large bowl, combine flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
In a separate bowl, whisk together oil, egg, and juice. Add the orange pulp, orange zest, ginger, honey, and vanilla, and whisk until just combined. Add to the flour mixture and stir quickly until well combined. Fold in the raisins. Spoon the batter evenly into the 12 molds.
Bake for 18-20 minutes, or until the tops are golden and a cake tester inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean. Transfer the pan to a rack to cool for 5 minutes before removing each muffin and placing on a wire rack to cool.

In trying to verify the birthdate and find the birthplace of George Angus Barclay I tracked him back in the U.S. Federal Census to 1850 in Connecticut. All evidence for census and other documents were pointing to Connecticut as his birthplace not Scotland or New Jersey. A census search of 1850 does not reveal a George Barclay of this age born in New Jersey.
The census does reveal a George Barclay living in Enfield, Hartford Co., Connecticut at the age of six years old. He is living with an entirely different family and not with his parents.
It looks like George is part of two households. The family he is living with starts with a notation on line 15 and begins with a Lucy William age 65 with $4000 real estate value. Under her is Lucy M. William age 27. Then we start another family on line 17 with an Edwin D. William listed as age 26. Under him is Margret P. William age 26, born in NJ. We follow with George Barclay 6 years old born. He attended school within the year. All the people listed have been born in Connecticut except Margret.
Running a census search for members of this Williams family in 1860 reveals no Lucy, Edwin or Margret living in the Enfield area or in Hartford County.
So who are these people?
I am suspicious about Margret. The name is the same as the one given for George's mother. It might be coincidence. The fact that she is born in New Jersey is interesting. It has been suggested by Aunt Miriam that George was born in New Jersey. It is possible that the parents divorced? Her age is maybe a little to young for being a mother of 7 children. Is she John Barclay's sister. If John was born in 1801 as indicated on documents I have collected, he would be 49 years old. So he is probably a little too old to be a brother. Things are not looking good for this Margret William as a candidate for George's mother, but we will remain open to all possibilities at this time.
Nearby in East Windsor, Hartford County, Connecticut which is southeast of Enfield we find Alexander Barclay. He is living with yet another family and is about the right age for George's brother.
The family we are interested in starts on line 20 with an [Alonso] Barber age 30 who is a farmer with $2500. Next comes a Nancy Barber age 25. We then have Alfred at 3 years of age, next is [Frederic] at 1 year of age. [Lorain] Peas follows at age 17. Last we find Alex Barclay at age 9 years. All are born in Connecticut. Alex has attended school in the last year.
In running a census search for this Barber family in 1860, you can find them still living in Enfield. They do not have any children listed in their family group with a different family name. These two families the Barbers and Williams have means and money.
Where are John Barclay and Margaret? I have been unable to find any reference to John or Margaret in the U.S. census for 1850 or in 1840 that fits. All my Aunt Miriam knew about Margaret was that "she died before the Civil War."
With this information, I decided to write the Enfield City Hall to see if I could find a birth record for George. They wrote back that they were unable to locate a birth record for a George A. Barclay.
The Logsleds to Snowmobile book (history of Pine River, Minnesota) makes this statement on pg. 105.
"Sometime before the Civil War his mother died. George and his brother Alexander were placed in different foster homes…"
In the next post we will dig further into the Connecticut census and discover the possibility of other Barclay children nearby and living with other families in Hartford Co., Connecticut.

BURY ME NOT - Danny Cohen blog entry
On any given day you can find me in a rural cemetary, dodging the fiery engines of groundskeepers. I'm trying to escape the frying pan of gardners from my retirement community. Geriatrics also peer in from the jacuzzi plateau, on the way to the 'clubhouse', to sign up for the potluck.
Ten years ago, they'd be playing shuffleboard or doing aerobics in the pool, but now they're too old. The smart and spry ones left in droves, when a conglomerate of crooks took it over (my mom [who signs up for 'desert'] was trapped by thousands of paintings and drawing classes).
I write boroque horror music on a tri-manuel theatre organ in the 'clubhouse', like the Phantom of the Opera. The diminished chords can be tamed into tunes like 'Vertigo', 'Death Waltz', 'The Fall', and 'Noah Baine', from my latest Anti CD 'Shades of Dorian Gray'. The theme of 'Rigormortis (on the Ridge)', addresses my premature buriel on the ridge.
Sometimes the batteries fail on a power chair, and I push a senior up the hill. I help them out of cars when the arthritis becomes bone on bone. I carry the Waldorf salad to the potluck (where a scrapbook shows my deceased dad as 'Syringe LaDouche' on Holloween). I provide piano accompaniment to 'Bury Me Not' or 'Jingle Jangle'.
I peruse 'easy listening' records with deaf afficianados in thrift stores. I'd scour yard sales for kitsch figurines with a furniture hound, then he died. I test the bindings of 19th century tomes with the 'Friends of the Library' spinsters. I grab dinner plates with the faces of nerds and swaths of paisly linen at the Elks sales.
They go in threes at the condo. The octagenerians joke about it; "They're dropping like flies". The cemetary's right across the street; next to an auditorium where John Raitt once did 'The Pirates of Penzance'.
After they get their hair done, they sing at the 'Hurry Sundown' convalescent home, then head to Casa de Paramecium for a bland chicken suiza (that nonetheless leads to Immodium AD). I tag along to the multi-plex, to reserve the handicapped seats before cranksters with mullets can usurp them

Update 1:50PM (from Perk's manager)
p.s. Let's keep this about Perk and not about Danny or the new Celtics please. JR 2/25/2011 10:14:00 AM Tweet Edit

Will miss you tons, thanks for everything Perk!
this would definitely leave a hole in the celtics' defense. you've done well for the team, perk. let's have another run at it when we get the chance. ubuntu!
Probably one of the few true centers remaining in the league.
Arguably the most "Celtic" of all Celtic players traded
I raise my can of beer in your honor. Hopefully, you'll be back wearing Celtic green.
To Perk.
Thanks for everything perk...be back here next season...UBUNTU!
That 2008 banner is yours, man. Thanks for everything.
Always appreciated how hard he worked and played. Never gave less than 100%. And had the one of the best scowls the NBA has ever seen. I hope our paths cross again.
Perk your always one of us man
Beverly, Mass. misses you, Kendrick.
Perk appreciate the work you put in hate to see you go
KP, thanks for the 8 amazing years, and always playing your hardest. Thanks for helping us bring in 17. You will be missed. Love you KP
I love your passion, toughness, and presence. You're a force to be reckoned with by yourself. Much love and respect BIG PERK.. You'll always be a Celtic by heart..
Unfortunate to see you go Perk, we're all going to miss you as a member of this Celtics family, good luck with your future and remember that we love you here in Boston.

Kendrick, we as Celtics fans cannot express how much you have done for us over your 8 years here. You were my favorite player and I am really sad to see you go. It's unfortunate to be traded like that so quickly but I wish you the best of luck in your career.
Whenever you return to Boston, Celtic or not, you can be assured a standing ovation awaits you.
Adam from Boston
Big Man! You just got back healthy & we were so happy to see you dominating the middle again! Sorry to see you go, but that's the game. Much success & you'll get a standing O from me in my living room whenever you come back to the Garden. (Just take it easy on us, ok?!)
I guess i'm the number one celtics fan here in the philippines, a really huge fan! Though i think the trade works both ways, we'll still gonna miss that beast wearing green #43! Good luck in OKC with nate! Maraming salamat sa lahat ng alaala mong iniwan bilang isang green machine! (Thank you so much for all the memories you gave as being a green machine!) Miss you perk!!
Perkins your a real champion. The team will miss you and the fans are still scratching their heads. Wishing you the best you have been a class act and a true Celtic.
Always a true Celtic. All the best, Perk!
Thank you for the growth, the swagger. Thanks for the toughness. Thanks for the rebounds, the scowls. Thanks for your defense. Thanks for being real with us. Thanks for working extra to get back from the ACL. Thanks for being a Celtic. And... Thanks for Banner 17.
Perk - you embodied everything that it means to be a Boston Celtic: heart, toughness, unselfishness, teamwork, loyalty. You should have been a Celtic for life. We miss you and wish you all the success in the world.
you will be missed perkins....once a Celtic always a Celtic....
Thanks Perk for all the hard work, great spirit, and all the times you played through pain. Thanks for being a great team player and for all the work you did in the community. I wish you and your family the very best. I am sure your new team will love you, how could they not? Oh, and beat L.A.!

Perk, I've never been more hurt in my life. Finding out that you were getting traded was horrible for me, as well as other Celtics fans around the world. You will be greatly missed, and I wish you the best.

Obviously you have been a vital part of the Celtics for the fans, as can be seen by the standing ovation you received during your return back. We will miss you and wish you well in the future.

Perk, you and Nate will be missed.. best of luck in OKC and give the Lakers hell! We'll all be cheering for you both.
U will never be forgotten! We apprieciate n love u...take care god has a plan for you!
Thanks for everything. We'll miss you too.
It feels very much like the morning after 2010 Finals' Game 7. Perk was gone, the Celtics lost, and there was a general feeling of relentlessness where you'd rather have other things wrong with you than the Celtics losing. You think of other things to think about only to wind up where you started the day: Celtics lost the Finals. But the lone good thing about it is, there was another season where Perk was going to be back and there would be another run. Now, well, I don't know how to get comfort from this. Because whoever the Celtics get in return, if they do get one, I just know that he isn't going to be Perk. It was a good one half season run.
Thanks for everything. You will be greatly missed.
Thank you for showing the us the epitome of hard work. We all could see your love for the game and how you left it all on the court for us. Your fire and strength will be missed on the court and in Boston. Good luck in OKC Perk! We'll see you in the finals! Rep that blue and gold again! heh
I was so upset to see you go Perk. I don't care who you play for and what you do you'll ALWAYS be #43 the BIG GREEN MACHINE. I love your passion, loyalty, good nature and honesty. We love you man and I'll be in the crowd when you come to Philly cheering you on. Thank you so much for giving up 8 GREAT years of hard work.
I am still upset about this trade. You will be missed, u will always be a Celtic #43 GO GREEN GO! Good Luck to u and ur family in OK City!! My son and I miss u and maybe we can go see a OK City game and wear our Green=) we <3 u
ClaRissa n EJ from Texas

This is bull shit. Perkins, come home!
You were an amazing asset to our team and will be greatly missed! I am sad to see you go but wish you the best! <3

OHMY... this tribute is SO AMAZING! Congrats, Zack Wire. Perk, we will miss you.
Wow Perks, I'm really going too miss you. You were one of my favorite player on the team. I will miss you playing on the courts with the Celtics players, and bullying other players :). Since I never met you, I pray too meet you one day since they say you are a really nice person.
Goodluck and have a great season with the Thunders, and rememeber BEAT LA!
Fuck Danny!!!!!!!! We'll miss ya Perk and Nate. Good Luck out in the West!
Hey Perk. Good luck in OKC ! Danny Ainge sucks, ya r the best.
Greetings from Poland! U wil always be in our heart.
The worst trade ever !
with love.... thank u brotha perk! ubuntu!
Hey Perk! I just wanted to say that you were my favorite Celtic because of how much hard work you put into every game and every practice. You are an inspiration to me and many others. I wish Danny didn't trade you, I'm really going to miss you. I'll support you where ever you go though, come back to Boston anytime big guy. Love you Perk!!! Ubuntu, don't forget celtic nation.. Good luck in Oklahoma, I'll be cheering for you!
Good Luck to 'Quis, Luke, and Semih as well. You guys are always Celtics!
Thanks for everything Perk. Still baffled on the trade. Your a Celtic and always will be. Best of luck in OKC, you'll bring alot to that team obviously. But I have a feeling banner 18 for the Cs left with you. Your hardwork and passion towards the game is something that should be praised and admired by everyone involved with the nba, players, coaches, owners, GMs, and fans. Thanks again and best of luckm we'll miss you big Perk.
Perk your the MAN!!! keep doing what your doing in OKC!! And when you come back to Boston, no matter what team your with next year, show Danny Boy what he gave up on!!!
I'm really upset by this...like losing family. Good luck and God bless in all you do.
Damn, we're gonna miss ya KP. Good luck over there with the Thunder. May your career prosper! Once a Celtic, ALWAYS A CELTIC!
Hi Perk, We are as saddened and shocked as you are about this trade. In the hearts of all Celtics Fans, you will always be a Celtic #43. OKC is getting a superstar and I will watch you and cheer you on every game. Thank you for being you and for all the wonderful years, you will always be brothers in green. Best of luck to you and the family....
It feels as if someone died, and it did. This trade marks the death of Ubuntu. If anyone was to be traded surely it wasn't to be the one Celtic that embodies what heart, brotherhood, cojones and pride means. I myself am going to miss the immediate reactions to have the back of a fallen brother on the court. You're last words on the camera before the huge news were:" I'm a Celtic" and to me you'll always be one. God Bless, you mean and gentle soul.
Perk, u will be sorely missed if Celtics failed to secure the banner 18. but fighting alongside Durant and Westbrook is just as good, u still get a shot at the championship though
Much love to you Perk. You're the definition of Celtic Pride. You are already missed.
Perk, you and Nate are gonna be missed..it was good to see you come back with a vengeance and now you'll be w/the Thunder..nevertheless, Once a Celtic, Always a Celtic!! Much Love!
Now this just made me cry...i was sooo mad and upset yesterday with all this. I woke up this morning and said "Perk is gone"! Gonna miss you Perk, you are one of the best, you are forever a Celtic and go show OKC what you made of and win a championship. I will be following you and Nate and Kevin Durant (he's cool)!!!
We miss u already!!!... Good luck in everything u do!!!.. Was mad at Boston for what they did but it's done already :(!!!....
Once a Celtic, always a Celtic. Thank you for everything. You'll never be forgotten. Ubuntu.
Love you Perk! and good luck! hard to see you go, I honestly cried my eyes out still in shock and very emotional about your departure, wish you all the best and continued success! *Hugs*
Thanks for being a part of the epic 2008 championship team. You will always be a celtic!!!
I would like to trade Danny Ainge to OKC for Perk next season.
Perk you were my favorite Celtic. So sad to see you go, but I wish you the best. LONG LIVE THE BEAST!
My heart is breaking about this. Only a "TRUE GREEN FAN" can appreciate what a horrible decision this is. I do wish you the best of luck in OKC....but cant imagine you wearing anything but the 'green & white #43"
thanks for 17 perk always givin it your all you will be missed and good luck in okc remember BEAT LA
You'll be missed Perk. Thank you for all your effort. Best of luck in OKC.
Go get em Perk! I'm gonna have to put a little blue in with my green now. Come back to Boston soon! You will always have a place in Celtic nation!!
Love Ya Perk.! Your Toughness Will Definitely Be Missed.! I Will Always Continue To Cheer For You. KP43. You Were A Beast, And No One Can Replace You. Good Luck In OKC.!
I am a man and I cried today. I held all the sad and sorrow in me and this just busted me. This shows how upset I am about this. Can we send all the good words here to Perk?
Perk - You will be missed! May you have great success with OKC against the West, especially the Lakers. Do rule out a return to the Celtics next year - who knows??
Perks - Boston won't be the same without you. You've been amazing the last years and it's been a blast to watch you. We'll miss you but wish you the best of luck in your career. Hopefully, one day you can wear the Green again.
I meant DON'T rule out a return to the Celtics. ONCE A CELTIC ALWAYS a CELTIC!!
You will be missed tremendously! Wishing you good luck and happiness with Oklahoma Thunder. :) xo
You bleed green Perk and you can't change that. We love you and appreciate everything you've done!
Good luck in OKC and remember couple of days ago you said "I'm a Celtic"? You were right and you always will be a celtic! Head up boy!! The garden loves you
Absolutely shocked and sad. Perks been one of my favorites in the league and an enforcer for our squad. He will be a nice fit in OKC and has a great opportunity with a rising team in the west. Let's just be glad he didn't get shipped to a team with no title aspirations.
perk, you will always be a celtic no matter what team you're on. our hearts broke when you went down in the finals last year and were put back together after all your hard work paid off and you returned this year. yesterday our hearts broke again. you showed that hard work truly pays off. you were the player celtics fans loved and other teams' fans feared. your loyal celtics fans will always cheer for you no matter what. you will surely be missed. we love you and wish you nothing but the best in OKC. beat LA!!
<3 your loyal fans in LA :)
p.s. i cried as i wrote this :(
Perk- Even though I wasn't in Boston for your return game to be a part of the standing ovation, please know that I was clapping for you in my little living room in Arkansas. You are and always will be a Celtic and we love you.
We miss you already! I was so happy to see you back on the court after injury. The fact that you did it a month early is just another example that shows you really know what it means to be a Celtic. You ARE a Celtic, always. It's unfortunate to see you go but I wish you the best in OKC and when we see you again you will get another standing ovation!
perk u will be greatly miss and i know for a fact u will be back!
KP! Good Luck with the new crew! You (and your scowl) will be sorely missed...
All the best, big man!
Much love (all the way from Glasgow, Scotland) :)
Perk you will be missed we LOVE U! We saw you play last month in Portland and I'm shure glad I got to see you in green before you were gone from the celtics. Yesterday was one of the saddest day in our home. It wont be the same without you and I know Rondo feels the same. We LOVE U and good luck in Oaklahoma.
Perk, since you got into the league I've had nothing but love for you. Always greedy for the ball, always wanting to win and thats the true Celtic spirit. Your defense, puts you above all in the category with Bill Russel and for that you will always be missed.
You will truly be missed by ALL Celtic fans, and we hope you nothing but the best in OKC.
also, I will still be rocking your jersey when i go to games.
Thanks for being a beast Kendrick, you'll never be forgotten for helping to win that 2008 title
Thanks for everything Perk... Wish you were still in Celtic Green...
thanks for everythin Perk! Ur a beast!!! hope you eliminate the lakers in the playoffs, and then resign with the C's in the offseason! best wishes!
Good Luck Perk thank u for all your hard work& many tech's that kept us all fired up! U will be greatly missed!
Perk, you will always be a Celtic to us. Can you feel by the comments how much we love you? All the best. This team won't be the same without you.
P.S.: How can we send a link to this post to him? We must do that.
Perk, its sad that the NBA is a business first because I wish the Celtics were a little more loyal to your hard work to rehab that knee... but I really wish you the best in OKC and hope you and your family settle in nicely! Keep playing hard and think of this as a compliment, every team in the league wants a defensive machine like you!
Thanks for the memories....Will always remember KP43...Kill it in OKC and remember Beat LA
Perk, thank you for everything you did while you were here. We all wish this trade never happened. Good luck in OKC and know you will always have a place here in Boston.
Good luck perk wish u nothin but the best u will always have a special place in the garden that will always be waiting for you.. Show okc wat boston is all about!!!!!
Thank you Perk for all the hard work you've done for Boston! I wish you Good luck and Success in OKC!
So sad to see you go....Will miss you! Love you Perk
So inspired by your determination and heart every single night. Thank you for 8 long years and a long sought after championship.
You will NOT be forgotten. Good luck big guy.
I'm very surprised they traded a bully machine like you. Your da hardest working player out there for the celtics. Good luck in OKC. Look in the the bright side, atleast your going to be in a young talented team. BEAT LA! If boston dont win this year, then i hope its OKC.
damn perkkk you willll be missed here in beantown. you will never be forgotten
You are going to missed in the Bean Perk. Thanks for playing your heart and soul out whenever you got on the court. You gave us a lot of great years of your life and for that we will be forever grateful... God speed my Brotha.
Damnn Perk...where ever you go from here on out you got my support. Once a Celtic always a Celtic. Stay up big dog!!
Thank you, Perkins. I'm a Celtics fan from all the way in Hawaii, and I've still yet to go to a Celtics game live in my life, but I wish you the best. I was so sad yesterday to hear that you were traded. But at least you're at OKC, with a young team, especially with Durant, Westbrook and the others... a great team out there. Thank you, and I'll never forget everything you have done for this team.
oh man oh man oh man big perk aka beast man i've been watching you since you came in the league and every year i've watched you i grew attached to you you meant so much to this celtics team you weren't only a celtic you were apart of this family and you still are no matter what team you are on you will always be the beast #43 of the boston celtics
So sad to lose you Perk. You meant so much to the Celts all these years and we will miss you so much. Wishing you all the luck at OKC and hoping maybe someday we'd see you back in Green.
Perk you, Pierce and Rondo are true Celtics. FOREVER. We will never forget you.
Greetings from Europe. I'm a big fan of you and will always follow your career.
I'm still crying :( Hate to see family go ! We will miss you so much. In my heart I hope you will come back soon, that's the only thing that helps me get through <3
All the best to you and Nate You will rock in Oklahoma
Go Get em !!!! <3
I think I may have cried more than u did, Perk. I felt like a family member had been ripped from my family. I dont quite understand why but I'll support you wherever you go, whatever you do. I feel like once you're a Celtic, you're FOREVER MY FAMILY! Boston loves you, I LOVE YOU, and I wish you nothing but THE BEST! I miss you already! Keep your head up baby, as I'll try to do the same. I LOVE YOU!!!!!!!!!
hope to see you as a celtic once again Perk
-Celtics fan from India
I am shocked and deeply saddened by this move, Perk. You will not be replaced in my eyes. While I wish you would be back next year with us, I know that you're much too hurt to think about ever coming back. I hope success finds you anywhere you choose to go, and if we hoist Banner 18 this year, you had just as much to do with it as anyone else.
Without a shadow of doubt the backbone of the celtics. Will be sorely missed but I have a funny feeling you'll be back!
KP Thanks for all the thrills chills and spills over the past 8 years. I am so honored to have seen you play this month. You took us to #17 and I will miss you in green. Good luck. MPH
Why? I'll be asking myself that question every celtics game that you wont be playing...
I'll start watching OKC games from now on though, not to watch KD, but to watch KP!!!
I dont get the trade, everyone wants you to be a Celtic, the fans, the coaches, the players... and you...
So again... "Why?"...
Damn, I just dont get it!!!! we're going to miss you, hope you'll have a good time in OKC, but please come back if possible, we really want you to!!!
I'm pretty sure thunder games will have more viewers than normal, because I'll be watching, and I know I'm not the only one, and one day, we hope to see you back in green, the color you should be wearing!!!
Do your best in OKC :)
From Mads in Denmark!
This sucks.... I am really gonna miss you :(
Much love from Denmark
Thanks for teaching us what a Celtic is, you will always be one big example of how a Celtic should play and be.
Good luck in OKC
That's it, crying for a second time today. Kendrick, understand that all of the fans loved you and we all LOVED your effort to come back from the ACL. I feel like you should have stayed. It's so weird when I have never seen a man in my life... An ocean divides us.. yet I cry when he leaves a basketball team. Hey, Perk... You could take some money back and sign with the Celtics next year? That's a pipe dream but all I want now is Perk back on the C's...
My closest friends and I were all in shock, as I'm sure you and the rest of the guys were. You'll always be a part of this team. It doesn't matter where you go in the league, you taught us that being a Celtic is about being tougher than anyone else out there. I was at the game this year against cleveland when you came back, and I have never lost my voice so quickly cheering. You're a hero in Boston Perk, best of luck in OKC and here's to always hoping we can see you in green again soon.
My whole family is upset! You're a Celtic, man! Our heart is feeling for you and the whole team!
Thanks for everything you did Perk, we appreciate it. You can still do you thing in OKC. Help the Thunder bring the Flakers down please!
Perk my man I was devastated when I found out you were traded. I couldn't even concentrate on my class & had to leave early. You are what the definition of what a Boston Celtic truly embodies. Thanks for Banner 17, you and it will never be forgotten. When you do come back as a opposing player or if we get so lucky as Celtic you can expect a louder and longer standing ovation that you received just a few weeks ago! We'll miss you homie and good luck in OKC & knock the FAKERS out for us!
Can't say enough how much you did and still will mean to me as a fan of this team. Your play and desire are unmatched. We will miss your intensity. So sad to see you go. As someone who lives in Denver not looking forward to you beating the other team I cheer for. Take it easy on the Nugs :) thanks for the memories KP. Goodluck
Without you, a great hole has been created in our celtics.
I wish you an absolutely successful career in OKC. Build new bonds, continue playing great D, and don't forget us, because we will never forget you...
Perk I love you man. Today is one of the saddest days of my live. I did even know you in personal be since the time I'm a Celtics' fan All of the Celtics players were like family to me especially you. I wish you Nothing BUT All of the Success with your new team... I'll root for them and you too besides the Celtics. I'll watch the next game you come back to Boston and I'm sure the Crowd will said it all. You are a Celtic 4 Life.
I love you Perk. Thanks for everything you've done for us. You a true Celtic. You will always be welcomed at the Garden. Fans are still scratching their head about this trade. There's a big hole in our defense now that you aren't there. Thanks for helping us bring home banner 17. I wish you nothing but the best in OKC. Just don't ever forget us because I can promise you that Celtics nation will NEVER forget you.
Once a Celtic, always a Celtic. #43
To the most recent Beast from the East we will miss you. My favorite Perk memory is from 2008. The bald Perk dunks on Bynum and then gives him that GTFOH stare. Enough to grab a technical, enough to grab another fan.
Peace my brother
Thank you Perk for moments like these:
We will ALWAYS love you Perk!!! You truly showed what being a Celtic is all about, and no matter what uniform you wear, you will always and forever be a Celtic to us all. I was beyond shocked and saddened to hear you had to leave us, it still hasn't hit me. This is one of the saddest times in my life of being a sports fan. I really hope that one day you'll be able to come back, because the C's just won't be right without you. Thank you so much for all the amazing times, you will be more missed than you know.
Thanks for everything!! We will miss you.
Please come back next year.
I am heartbroken to see you go. I've been one of your biggest fans since the day you were drafted. Thank you for being the epitome of what a Celtic should be. You will always be a Celtic in my heart no matter where you go and I'll be watching you in OKC and cheering for you there. I know you are going to do very well in OKC and although I hate the thought of losing you from the Celtics I think you are going to a place where you will be able to blossom and get a ring and a contract you deserve. This is stained with the tears of a broken hearted Celtics fan but I will always be a Perk fan and will always follow your career and cheer for you. Know that you will be missed and always be loved.
i never truly appreciated perkins till he went down in the finals, which is when i realized how important he was to this team. i grew fond of perk over the offseason and the beginning of the season when i saw how hard he worked to return to the team. his dedication and support for the team will be missed. thanks perk
Very sorry to see you go. You will always be a Celtic in my mind. Good Luck in OK. We'll be watching.
Perk! You'll always be one of my all-time favorite Celtics. You're a true warrior out there on the court and you were the epitome of a True Celtic and I'll miss watching you play every night.
Good luck down there in OKC, and do what you can to make sure the Lakers don't three-peat, haha.
Perk you will forever be a celtic at heart. Your toughness and heat and passion is unmatched. You are a true celtic. Boston loves you. We wish you the absolute best.
I felt like I was punched in the gut when I saw the news yesterday. Thank you Perkins for everything over the past 8 years. You will be greatly missed by the fans of Boston and I would love to see you in Celtic green again one day. I'll be cheering for you on OKC.
Perk's team play, energy, hard work & passion is SO APPRECIATED and respected. Perk exemplifies the Boston attitude. I'll always root for Perk.
I always thought Perk, alongside Rondo and Pierce, will always forever be Celtics in this new era. This trade to me was a real shocker, despite Perk not playing most of the games earlier, the team won't be the same without you man. Perk is a Celtic, and forever will be a Celtic. We Celtics fans will welcome you back home with open heart in the future, its better to finish off your career here in Boston. Very good luck to Perk in OKC, all the best and beat the Lakers for us. I'll be rooting for your team in the West. So long and nice knowing ya Kendrick Perkins!!
Perk, WE LOVE YOU!! You're one hell of a player and I was shocked when I heard you were being traded. I'm pretty sure it's been an emotional roller coaster for everyone in Boston. I wish you the best of luck in OKC. Go out there and keep doing what you do. Play 'til you can't play anymore. Don't let this move stop you from going after another ring. If the Cs don't make it to the finals, I'm rooting for you, Nate, Durant, and the rest of the Thunder team...believe that. You're going to be missed A LOT in Boston. You'll always be a Celtic! Thank you for all the memories you created with the rest of the team. LOVE YOU PERK!!
Fcuk You Danny Ainge... He Has No Respect 4 The Team... Let Alone Perk... Why Would The GM Step On The Fire... Should Have Paid Him... They Run These Teams Like Plantations
You're a good man Kendrick. Keep up the good work my brotha!
Perk, man, i was 11 when u first got drafted in 03, now im gonna be 19 in two weeks, it feels like i grew up with u. i remember in 05 when paul got ejected against indiana in the playoffs & u came in a had to shoot his FT's and missed both of them and to see how far you've come from that is amazing, you gave your heart for this team, and for all the fans, you played on bad teams and you could have given up but u never gave up ever, and it paid off in 08, we will never forget u perk, we love u man, i wish you and your family the best, thank you for the memories, i hope one day im able to shake your hand and tell you thank you to your face
You are a great competitor and a True Celtic, and nothing can ever change that. We will miss you greatly, and we wish you all the best.
You personified Celtic Pride. You did whatever was asked of you and then some. You were the heart and soul of this Celtics team and nobody will ever forget that. You will be missed greatly. You will always be a Celtic no matter where you go. Thanks for the last eight years and being a part of the resurrection of the Boston Celtics.
My heart sunk when I heard the news yesterday. You define what it means to be a true Celtic. You were our enforcer and anchor. You'll forever be missed. I hope to see you in green again. Good luck in OKC, I'll never stop cheering for one of the most genuine hard working players this game has ever seen. I love you KP!!!
Ah Perkins, you've brought so much talent, energy and compassion to this team. You have affected everyone here in the Celtic fan base, especially the news of you being traded. Once a celtic, always a celtic. We love you man and we will always support you wherever you are. Good luck and god bless you for everything that you do in the future.
Thanks for the scowl, the picks, the blocks, the boards, the p points, the fouls, the techs, the hard work each and every day and night.
Best to you & your family,
As I seee it, OKC's gain is DEFINATELY our loss.
How lucky were we to have you here? I wish you only the best!
Thank you Perk!!
Good luck Perk! No matter where you go you'll always be a Celtic! You're truly a soldier-much respect!
You the man Perk...im gonna miss you!!!
talking like a realist, lets be professionalist, this is how NBA business works.
But Dear Perkins, you have gone beyond giving us fans and celtic a good game.
Through ur dedication and loyalty and team spirit u have made a place in our hearts.
As difficult as it will be for you to not wear Green from here on, it will twice as much harder for us fans to see u in a diff jersey.
but besides learning how defense is played...one thing u have taught us all is to be loyal and dedicated.
and hence we shall always love you and support you.
WIth every game we play from here on, celtics will feel ur absence. Its NEVER gonna be the same, winning aint gonna be as sweet and loses are gonna hit harder!
loveee u perkins Green or NOT!!!
Kunzang Jigme <3
THE PERKULATOR!!! WE'LL MISS YOU BROTHER... Keep doing your thing in OKC. Above all, BEAT LA!
HUGE part of this team... Perk worked harder than anybody and helped make up the best starting lineup in basketball. He is a beast and always will be, OKC will be happy to have a him, and few centers have the presence that Perk does, especially on defense. We will MISS HIM GREATLY.
CelticsNation will miss you dearly, Perk. Your boards, your toughness, your gritty defense. Most of all, we'll miss you because you're part of the family.
Thanks for everything you ever did for the green! You will be missed. I'm still trying to figure out why, but I'm sure it's nothing compared to how you feel. Good luck, and maybe you'll be a C again, who knows? Thanks again...
Thanks for all the wonderful memories, you'll truly be missed. I hope you and Nate do well in OKC, and you both are happy with where life takes you. Hopefully one day, you'll be back in Celtic green. You'll always be a Celtic in my book! Take care of yourself..
I already miss you Perk! I always loved watching you play with passion!! I wish you tons of success with OKC!
We REALLY gonna miss you Mr Perkins, you are a true joy to watch and we'll never forget all you did for Celtics. Now go be a Star at OKC and show those fans what you showed us:) A big thumbs up for just being you! God bless...xoxo!
Totally disgusted with this trade, when I think of the celtics it's impossible not to think of Perkins being there. He is a Celtic and Always will be to me. I wish him nothing but the best and hope that one day he will come back so I can see my team whole again. Very sad day today for Boston fans. Love you Perk and good luck with the Thunder :(
I know I don't belong here, but welcome to OKC! We look forward to you joining the team.
You are the essence of what it means to be a Celtic. I understand this is a business but you cannot put a price on drive, determination, heart, teamwork and unbuntu. Good luck with OKC and I will fly up to Boston next season to see you play in person again.
Keep your head up !
Kendrick we've all been shocked... But THANK YOU for all the dedication you gave to us! Banner 17 would of not been possible if it wasn't for you as we all saw last year!! YOU WILL BE MISSED along with Nate!! Good Luck in your OKCity run!! YOU WILL ALWAYS BE A CELTIC!!!!
Time to go Beastin' out West, Perkulator. Thanks for all you've done for the Celtics. No matter what happens, you can always be proud and you can always keep your head up; you are a warrior and you busted your butt on a Championship team. We won't ever forget that. Happy trails, Perk.
Hate to see you go Perk. The Celtics aren't the Celtics without you. Your presence is going to be missed on and off the court. You were one of the biggest parts of the team and I hope we can still win it all. Best of luck to you in everything you do. If there was one western team id want you to be on its the thunder. Just beat those damn lakers!
good luck to perk. OKC is lucky to have him and nate. 2 great players off to positively impact a new team
Foreva Perk in Green we miss you!
I'll miss u Perk!I'm still shock on this trade...when I see that news u cries I near cry too...
I hope u doing good in OKC,and the Celtics fans in Taiwan love u!
We'll miss you, Perk. Thanks for everything you've done for the Celtics. Wish you all the best of luck. Maybe one day you will wear green again, :)
Thank you for your years of dedication and hard work for the Celtics. Us Celtics fans absolutely adore you and are heartbroken about Danny's decision. You will always have a special place in our hearts and will always be welcomed at the Garden. Hopefully you will one day find yourself back to wearing Celtics Green, but if not, I will be cheering very hard for you and the Thunder.
You will be greatly missed by your fans and teammates. Keep on being a BEAST!!
Thanks for everything Perk! Best of luck in OKC--kick some Laker ass!
Kendrick, u will b missed, u were Rondo's sidekick, just know that u will prosper in OKC, cause u have what it takes. U continue 2 bring yo "A" game.
miss u already perk !!!!
But u kno we'll be cheering for u and Nate even in the OKC jerseys !!!
Miss u guys;)
Love you Perk. I'll always be a fan of yours for life. Good luck in OKC.
The part after "On paper" summarizes my feelings, more or less.
It feels weird watching this team knowing that Perk is gone. He was an irreplaceable part of the recently formed Celtics identity. I don't know what Ubuntu will be like without him.
Best of luck to Perk. He will be missed.
I've already liked Durant, but now Oklahoma is my other favorite team in the West, and I'll be following their games whenever I can. I'd love to see Perk in the Finals this season, I hope he gets that honor.
Thanks for everything Perk. You were more than a player.
Perk is a true celtics sad to see him go i wish him nothing but the best he always will be a celtics the celtics door always open and i hope one day i can see him in a celtics uniform again
Perk - it's been great to watch you develop as a player and a teammate over the past years. You played with great emotion and it's something we won't forget. We are sad to see you go, but wish you the best of luck in OKC!
- Sean
Perrrrrk!!! Man we are going to miss u in that green (I already do). Had a good 8 years and thank you for all you've done. I know it was hard but let's goooooooo get to working on the next 8. I'm a fan where ever u go!!! Best Wishes...SHOWOUT Love ya Perk...
Something tells me that someday you will be back playing with Rondo. At least I hope so.
Good luck in OKC Perk. You will be missed here in the Bean. Although my husband continues to make fun of me for becoming "emotionally invested" in players, this one really hurts. Thank you for all you have given us, and I hope to see you back in green some day!
Ahhh...Perk! How I will miss you so :( it's like a bad divorce and you're the kid that keeps getting pushed around. I'm definitely going to miss seeing you play in a green jersey, but no matter what color you're in you'll always be a part of the Celtic's legacy and family! Best of luck in OKC and can't wait to see you in the Garden again even if you're in a different jersey.
I gonna miss you Perk. I am really going to miss seeing you dominating defensively in the Celtics Green & White. You are a great player & a super guy.
Best wishes.
ive always wanted to be able to say thank you for playing with heart. you are a great example for young basketball players around the world. thank you perk.
It has been a pleasure watching you. I can't imagine you playing somewhere else (and don't want to), but I wish you the best.
Love you.
Miss you.
Thank you.
Perk you meant so much to this city and this team... You were a champion and a warrior, we watched you grow and will always support you. Best of luck in OKC. We're going to miss you!!!
It's been a pleasure watching you go from an awkward straight-out-of-high-school rookie to a tested veteran presence. I've been calling you the best defensive center in the NBA for a few years now. You are.
I was planning on you and Rondo taking the team into the future when Ray KG and Pierce left the game, but things never work out like you plan them.
Good luck in OKC, and wherever you end up in the future. Just keep beasting the rest of the NBA.
You're a Celtic for life.
Perk -
You poured your heart and soul into your craft and us fans will always remember that. We all know that this is a business but that doesn't make parting any easier for you, your teammates or fans. I hope you can remember the good times and know that you will ALWAYS be loved in Boston.
Best of luck in the future. We'll miss you Big Perk!
- Oliveira
Hey Perk, Daejon cried when he heard the news thanks for 100 even with the little kids. He won't forget how after the game tht night U pulled over just to sign his picture.... We will miss you Be safe
Perk, nobody in Boston wanted to see you go.. Not your teammates, not your fans.. We'll miss you. We love you. You'll do great things for the Thunder.. People are now calling them a championship team because of YOU. Use this as an opportunity. Wish you the best, 43!
Big Perk, we are SO SAD to see you go:( This trade SUCKS the big one!
We'll miss you Perk. Best of luck in the future, you're a great player and a great person. I'll miss seeing you in green and white.
I know there's a business side to the game but Boston lost someone special today! I felt so bad when you were injured in LA and to see you work so hard to get back to your brothers was inspiring - it just re-enforced what Celtics Pride is all about. You will ALWAYS be a champion, a friend and a Celtic. If it were possible, I would have given the Celts whatever it took to keep you here. You will be successful wherever you go and the Thunder just became a real threat in the West - because of you. I've traveled from Hawaii to Boston many times just to see you guy play.
Even if the Celts do win a title this year, it just wont be the same. I know it's a business but there better be a Championship ring made for you my man. You deserve it. I just hope that somehow you'll be wearing the Celtics Green again next season.
Keep your head up and give the Thunder your best.... just like you always did for us! The Celtics should retire your number to the rafters Perk - that's how important a player and a person you are to us, and don't let anyone EVER tell you different.
Far as I am concerned the #43 has been retired in Boston! Good Luck!
PERK!!! Words cant explain how much you are going to be missed! I think all of your teammates and every celtics fan in this city are devastated & heartbroken today! I am really really really sad about this! Thank you for the 8 great years of dedication to the Celtics organization! You are the perfect example of hard work, loyalty, passion & toughness! You were a giant part of the reason opposing teams feared us! I am not sure there is another player out there that is going to be able to fill your shoes, both on and off the court! But I know you are going to do well in OKC...myself and the rest of Boston will be rooting for you and who knows, maybe someday you will end up back in that Celtics uniform! I know in the bottom of your heart and ours too, you will ALWAYS bleed green! As far as the fans are concerned, #43 will always be welcomed back here! In the meantime, do your thing out there! OKC is getting an amazing man & teammate & I hope they take care of you there! You are already missed! <3
