Marathon Monday or what you do when you're not running

For those of you who do not live in Massachusetts, Marathon Monday is a big deal. The Boston Marathon is the world's oldest annual marathon. I heard Paul Revere ran it a few times. It always falls on the third Monday in April which is Patriots Day. A lot of people have the day off, so what does one do when you're not working on a Monday and you're not running the marathon? You get over to your favorite bar and have a good time that's what.

It was hot. I'm talking almost 90 degrees which was great for me but not so much for the runners. I was in the Cleveland Circle/Washington Square area which is about mile 22 and 23. You could tell that the runners were exhausted at that point and they've just come off the Newton Hills which is a killer, or so I hear since I have never and will never run the Boston Marathon.

What's that? Picture aren't enough? Cool because I took video too.



For those of you wondering about the result of my apology which I posted about yesterday, the guy did write back and was really nice about. He even asked how I was doing. I feel much better now. Never be ashamed or afraid to say you're sorry.

Out of my hands

My car made it to the auto body shop.  I got a little worried there because it was doing this shaking thing that was freaking me out a little.  It's out of my hands now though.  Everyone at the shop was really nice.  I should have my car back in about a week.  No rental car since I live in Boston and have two feet and a T pass.

I had to take a bus to the red line to the green line to get to work from the auto body shop.  The red line was super packed.  I'm not normally claustrophobic but I wanted off that train.  I'm much more pleased now that I have a mini cinnamon bun in my mouth.

The weather is awesome today!  We may even hit 70!  I highly suggest you go pants-less while you still can.  Mother nature is wacky in the North East.
