Three day weekend! Thanks, terrorists!

My building is closed for "security reasons" on Monday the 21st because the Boston Marathon comes right by our street (and it's impossible to drive to the building between 8:45am and 3pm anyway).

For once in my life, paranoid "homeland security" is doing me a favor! All right!

Edit: More good news! BostonNOW has folded, so my train station boyfriend is gone from my morning commute. The lesson I have learned here is that if you ignore a problem, it will eventually go away.
