For those of you living or visiting in the Boston area, we hope that you, your family, friends and neighbors are all safe from this latest act of cowardliness. It's a pity, but this will be changing the way we all live once again. We pray for the victims and anyone else affected by this latest tragedy. It appears that we will never be able to enjoy an event like this without becoming a police state. And maybe that's the intent here.

Good wishes and prayers for all those in Boston and the rest of the country as well. You don't want to know what I'd like to do with those responsible but it involves honey and ants.

My nephew was there an hour previously. It's amazing how personal it can become.

Sorry, the rest of the message didn't go through. What I was going to add was that We couldn't get my nephew for a while because the cell phone towers were shut down (to prevent other possible detonations). In cases like this if you know someone who is in a similar situation, don't panic if you can't reach them right away.
