Before returning to our regularly scheduled nonsense here at The Thread podcast, we wanted to acknowledge the terrible events that occurred in our hometown during the Boston Marathon.
The Boston Marathon/”Marathon Monday” is a Holiday which brings its own local traditions; Most use the day to watch the 11am Sox game while casually feigning interest in how close the American got to 1st place. Whether one stays home, goes to a barbecue, or heads in to the Marathon route to support the runners, it’s a day best spent enjoying the company of friends and family. That’s all the people standing in the wrong place on Boylston Street were doing.
The events that occurred at 2:50pm on Monday, April 15th 2013 will never be forgotten by anyone. All of our thoughts and prayers are with those completely innocent people who have had their lives taken and or permanently altered by these events.
