Today in Boston

The 32nd annual Tufts Health Plan 10k.

As Gina and I were returning from Boston Common

we saw a sea of women coming down Charles Street.

For you "Sam Adams" Lager Heads

The story as heard this weekend on the tour
is that Sam Adams was so Butt ugly that the
brewery chose to use Paul Revere's likeness
on the beer bottle. Sam Adams did inherit a
brewery from an uncle but ran it out of
business in eight months. The Sam Adams
brewery of today has literally nothing to do
with Sam Adams other than have his name.
Sam Adams was better known as a politician
and chief organizer of the Patriot cause leading to
the American Revolution. The most famous protest
that he organized was "The Boston Tea Party".

When in Boston..............

I do believe that Bostonian's and the surrounding
area support their baseball team more than any
other area that I have seen. It's good to see so
many people support the same thing.......... an
American favorite..........baseball.

Appalachian Trail - Near Stratton, Me.

For some time now, I have wanted to walk on the AT.
Well, I finally got my wish.
To read a really good book about being on the AT read
Bill Bryson's book, "A Walk in the Woods".

The Presidential Range of the White Mountains

We were heading back to Mass. from a weekend
up north. As we came around a bend in the road I
caught a glimpse of what I thought was snow on the
mountain tops. We continued to head toward the white
haired hills and came to a stopping place at the roadside
and snapped a few pics.

Signs: I like the last one best

Remember the show "Northern Exposure" ?

This is not Cicely, Ak., but Stratton, Me.
