Y’know, the shot heard round the world and all that? Celebrated in Our Fair City of Cambridge, as well as the whole Commonwealth of MA (as well as a couple of other states) on the third Monday of April, but historically occouring on the 19th.
Unfortunately this year’s weekend celebrations – and there were a lot planned – were toast. Rather soggy toast at that: we had a huge rainy northeaster over most of the weekend, drowning out the majority of the reenactments and parades scheduled. It was quite sad, both from my perspective and that of all the visitors who came early on the local school vacation week to see the events. Doubly so since I was laid up with a bad back for most of the weekend.
(Apologies to astute feed readers who note this post was backdated: I really was out of it for most of the week either sick or on a business trip.)
