Hi friends. I am okay. We were at the finish line just 10 minutes before the bombs went off. So lucky to be alive. Everyone who follows me from other states, please keep Boston in your prayers. Such a scary day, but Boston will stay strong.
I walk by Samuel Adams every day on my way home from law school. He is in the Granary Burial Grounds on Tremont Street. If you are in Boston, here is a suggestion: Go to the Beantown Pub across the street, and order whatever Samuel Adams they have in stock. Look out the window and say a toast; it will be the closest experience you can have to drinking a Sam with the real Samuel Adams.
Give me a heads up and I’ll join you for it.
