It is mid-April and it is SNOWING right now. While I know that it can (and does) snow in April, I am still annoyed. This entire winter/spring (so far) has been incredibly weird, weather-wise. :-/
Since my last post, Adrian and I went into Boston to see the Alvin Ailey American Dance Theater Company perform. They were incredible! Anime Boston was held over Easter weekend. Adrian went, like he has done every year since 2008. One of his favorite events at AB is their charity auction. This year, he purchased a vinyl record of the Robotech soundtrack. Robotech is a cartoon that was popular back in the 1980's. I do remember watching this show on TV, and thinking that it was cool.
The Boston Marathon is tomorrow. Today marks the five year anniversary of the 2013 Boston Marathon bombing. I wasn't in Boston that day. I was in New Jersey, visiting my mother. I remember that she and I were at BJ's/Costco/Sam's Club when my oldest cousin texted me, asking if I was OK. I remember thinking how weird it was that she was texting me, since I am not close to any of my cousins, and so her texting me to ask me how I was doing was unusual. I remember accessing Facebook on my phone, and finding out about the bombing that way, and then listening to news reports on my Mom's car's radio as we drove from Costco/BJ's/Sam's Club back to her house. I also remember posting on Facebook to let my friends know that I was OK. I remember calling a few people who I hadn't spoken to in awhile, just to check in on them.
I just wanted to acknowledge the day.
