Best day in Boston hands down
If you've never had the chance to be in Boston on Marathon Monday, you're missing out. It's the best day of the year outside opening day at Fenway Park.

Our #BostonStrong Day [photos]
The growing memorial in Boston's Copley Square is quite the sight to see. I took the family there today. We walked, shopped and dined on Boylston Street. It felt good to support the local economy and be part of the healing process for our great city and our community. Here are some of the images that caught my eye during our visit.
Letter to My Kids about Why We Are #BostonStrong
This is a note that I wrote to my kids about the events that happened this week. I'm not one to sugar coat things and as a result, this post is written in that manner. It includes strong language and is really a way for me to share my raw emotions from the past week.
We are #BostonStrong.
Blizzard of 2013: Let's Not Freak Out
We're New Englanders. We've been here before (well, those of us born before 1978).

Jury Duty: An Experience Not Guilty of The Law
I did my civic duty last week. I had jury duty and was picked as juror number 8 for a criminal case. I can't get into the details, but it was quite an experience.
To see the criminal justice system in action, and having a front row seat, was an interesting experience to say the least.
