YAS BOSTON MARATHON STREET CROSSING

this boston bombing story just keeps getting weirder

today, while law enforcement tracks down the bomber that they havn't killed yet, this story comes out about a guy who was waiting for his girlfriend to finish the race and was able to indentify the bombers.
 
Bauman was the first person in surgery at Boston Medical Center. “He woke up under so much drugs, asked for a paper and pen and wrote, ‘bag, saw the guy, looked right at me,’” said Chris Bauman, his brother. While the FBI won't comment on specific tips, Chris Bauman says Jeff met with FBI agents while he was still in intensive care and gave them a detailed description of the suspect.

that is him in the wheelchair up there. the guy in the cowboy hat was a volunteer first responder. the wheelchair guy ended up losing both of his legs. gulp.

Yesterday was the marathon. I should have run it, but instead, Libby and I pulled up some camping chairs and dolled out some compliments. A LOT of clapping and compliments.



The Elite runners were soooooo fast

but this is mostly what it was like: 


"clap clap, Looking good Erik!
clap clap
Keep it up Maura, nope her shirt say says Laura, gooo Laura"


















This guy was covered in Beef Jerky packets. He tossed us some. It was really good.
Let me reframe that: Yesterday a man tore a piece of dried flesh that had been hanging off his sweaty body and threw it at me as I sat by the side of the road. I picked it up, put it in my mouth, and it was delicious.

It was still Brooklyn though...























And we found Lizzy's friend!

CONGRATS LIZZY'S FRIEND!




Overall, the experience was 11 biscuits, and you ALLLLLL missed it!
