Patriots Day

Today is a holiday in Massachusetts. Patriots Day. Did I get the day off from work? Nope. I live in Massachusetts and I work in Massachusetts but I did not get the day off.

Bummer.

The Red Sox played their annual Boston Marathon Monday 11:00am game. As the leaders were crossing the finish line I had a break between my nearly endless string of conferences calls that was long enough for me to put the game on the radio for a couple of innings.

The very first word I heard from the broadcast was, “disaster.” Uh oh. It was the third inning and Sonny Gray had just been pulled due to an injury. Disaster, indeed. Crud.

On one of my endless conference calls today a coworker from another group mentioned that she is about to go on a trip to Bermuda. I am so jealous. My parents went to Bermuda on their honeymoon. Based on that it’s practically required that I go someday, isn’t it? That’s how it works, right?

I don’t know… maybe I just need a nap.

Inflation is out of control everywhere. For the #RedSox, a win on #PatriotsDay might have just cost a whole starting pitcher. #baseball

Honoring the brave and remembering the resilient on Patriots' Day. Let's reflect on the spirit of unity and courage that defines our nation's history. We are celebrating. Whether or not you are celebrating, call us tomorrow when we are done.

Grrrr

251 years ago today the American Revolution began with a fight in Concord, MA that extended into a Colonial Militia harrassing a column of British troops in Lexington, MA. The shot heard ‘round the world, as it were.

That’s what happens when you piss off people from Massachusetts. Bank on it, mother fuckers.

I am so sick of seeing the nation that grew from that event in 1775 being run by fascists and pedophiles and criminals of all shapes and sizes. I am fucking sick of it.

I am so fucking mad I can’t even think straight anymore. Furious is way too polite a word.

Giving the closing benediction at the Patriots Vigil at Minute Man National Historical Park on Friday night. The vigil is an annual lantern-light walk across the North Bridge with re-enactors, music, poetry, and a recitation of the names of the 122 who died in the battles of Lexington and Concord on April 19, 1776.
