Happy Patriots Day

Tomorrow is a state holiday.  Last year, I had no idea what was going on.  Everyone kept talking about Patriot's Day and Marathon Monday.  I was so confused.  Turns out, the 3rd Monday in April is a big deal up here.


It's a day of remembrance of the Battles of Lexington and Concord, the first battles of the Revolutionary War.  There are re-enactments, followed by pancake breakfasts.  Thus, the sign.

And to celebrate modern-day heroes, we have the Red Sox playing a midday home game and the running of the Boston Marathon.  It's timed such that Sox fans leaving the game can walk through Kenmore Square and cheer on the runners.

Yay Boston.
