Springing Forward

The first day of 70 plus degree weather in 6 months brings a welcome reminder of why we love living in Boston! The baseball season has started, the early flowers are blooming, and we're even trying to get back in shape by running the local paths. We've been drawn out of the house more than usual.

It seems in Boston, when they want a day off, they find a new holiday to celebrate. March 17th is evacuation day - a convenient holiday to celebrate the British Troop evacuation of Boston and get St. Patrick's Day OFF! Unfortunately, our jobs will not be allowing us to watch thousands of people run 26.2 miles.
