You're right. I mean the Marathon...Thanks Jim.<br /><br />You're right. I mean the Marathon is like one of the first big events of the spring. And it is SO Boston. There are others, but none like this. Really sticks in my craw.OldAFSargehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15935839956936191547noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7684531976778247960.post-23832242901237804452013-04-18T03:47:10.315-07:002013-04-18T03:47:10.315-07:00I just offered a prayer for your friend.
Hideous ...I just offered a prayer for your friend.<br /><br />Hideous thing. The Marathon is about as gentle and friendly and non-politicized an event as is possible. To kill and maim people, in such a cowardly way, at an event such as that, is so evil it is fairly much beyond comprehension.Suldoghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07778845367184916684noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7684531976778247960.post-56497004190661671642013-04-17T11:34:05.759-07:002013-04-17T11:34:05.759-07:00Thanks Buck.Thanks Buck.OldAFSargehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15935839956936191547noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7684531976778247960.post-50506513222853485052013-04-17T11:14:03.795-07:002013-04-17T11:14:03.795-07:00My best thoughts for your coworker and for all tho...My best thoughts for your coworker and for all those injured in the attack.

Struggling to maintain a balance between her reporting duties and being sensitive to the needs of the injured and traumatized, Alex and her companion often found themselves at cross purposes. <br /><br />The end of her story is especially poignant, speaking of Boston...her Boston. <br /><br />"I sobbed for what felt like hours.
