A Word from Boston





I am having the worst time getting this posted! Maybe it's this new hotel or something!

Dad's projected finish time has gotten longer - he usually starts out too fast - at least that is what he says. His projected finishing time is now 3:37 - still not too bad.

He felt fine when I dropped him off. It is overcast and cool - like 55ish - I have been walking around Quincy Market and Faneuiel Hall (I think I spelled that wrong!) since I got here to our cool hotel - on a small, old, narrow cobblestone street! I navigated turnpikes, tollbooths and narrow city streets under construction to find it on the first try! I even amaze myself!

I am not going to the race route - I will do the waiting at the park near the finish - last year the subways were so crowded he had to wait an hour for me. It seems more crowded this year than last - maybe it's the Easter crowds - it's the local Spring Break.

I snapped a couple of mimes and some dressed up Minutemen for your viewing pleasure.

Stay tuned for a dinner hour wrap up - with interviews!

Just got the finish-line text--4:08. Good job, Dad. Especially with the recent sickness. I wish you a speedy recovery!
