Today is Patriots Day here in Massachusetts (not the football team, lol), so that means the 251st anniversary of the Battle of Lexington and Concord (which is re-enacted), and the 130th running of the Boston Marathon. The Red Sox play an early game (11:00) so that after it's over, the fans can pour out of Fenway and watch the end of the Marathon. ☺️
