The Boston Marathon ends in my front "yard." This is the view from my window - the finish line is on the other side of that huge grey building (it's the Boston Public Library)...



And as of 7:30 this morning, here's what the route looked like...



Here's the reverse view, with the Prudential Tower (big Boston Landmark) in the background:


Almost-empty stands!


Can you imagine bringing kids in strollers to the end of a major marathon?? AT 7 am?!?


At least these people brought chairs...


And here's proof that it's Spring in Boston - buds on trees! Also that's the Hancock Tower, another big Boston Landmark...


In other news, today is Take-Your-Mug-to-Work Day. You can save an entire tree this year if you skip the paper cups!
