Today is Patriot's Day in Massachusetts. To make a long story short, Patriot's Day is a holiday about running. Paul Revere ran to Lexington and Concord to inform the Colonists that the British were coming. The British Army ran behind him and started a little fight called the American Revolution. As you can see, the news crews had also been tipped off and were waiting to photograph the scurmishes.
And, wait, that's only part of the excitement. This day also includes our own "running of the bulls," the Boston Marathon. Marathon Day is the day that all the young folks run to the race route to get drunk and cheer the runners. And all the old folks run the other way to avoid the noise and crowds.
I hope you have a wonderful Patriot's Day. I've got to run.
