If you saw the news this morning, you know that things heated up in Cambridge last night.
The Boston Marathon bombers lived here. One is dead and other is on the loose. We are
presently under lock down, advised not to leave our homes and all forms of public
transportation have been shut down. Hopefully all of this madness will come to an
end soon and everyone can get on with the process of getting back
to our new normal. Thank you again everyone for your e-mails of concern.
Thinking of you and our other friends close by and in the city. Stay safe.
ReplyDeletei was thinking about you this morning - please be safe and stay inside. i hope to god this is over soon!
ReplyDeleteSo scary. I pray this all ends soon and without more violence.
ReplyDeletePrayers for God's protection!! :)
ReplyDeleteYes, I've been watching the coverage all morning, and I thought of you. Stay safe, Steve, and have faith in the good of most of humankind. - Cheryl
ReplyDeleteStill glad you are safe. Maybe it's a free day to work on the house?
ReplyDeletei hope you are well stocked (esp. in the bar area) with provisions. scary shit.
ReplyDeleteso amazing this internet - I don't even know you personally and yet, you were one of the first people I thought of today...be safe

I'm sorry. I'm sure this is very unnerving for everyone. Prayers that this gets taken care of quickly and without hurting more innocent people.
ReplyDeleteThinking of you Steve. Stayed up til after 2am following the story on twitter and CNN. Hope they catch the bastard before he kills himself or God forbid someone else. Stay safe.
ReplyDeleteThinking of you Steve . . . dreadful happenings indeed . . .
ReplyDeleteI have been watching this madness off and on all day. My niece just had her first child at Brigham and Women and has to stay another day because of the lock down. Stay safe Steve.
ReplyDeletegot a call at 5 am ...scary stuff...did you here the "commotion" last night...A & M did...then the helicopters...new normal is right...stay safe
ReplyDeleteThought of you Steve as I watched the coverage all morning. Getting some Facebook updates from my relatives in the area. Glad to hear things are okay your way though.

I thought if you when I saw footage of Cambridge this morning. My brother-in-law drives for a large trucking company in Watertown and has been in a lockdown. In fact his truck was stopped and completely searched and he was sent back to the yard. He drives one of those gargantuan flatbeds around the city. They actually used mirrors, looked under the truck on the axles. It's been a very crazy vacation week.
ReplyDeleteThinking about you and praying for all those still hurt. On another note, my mom is planning on totally renovating both full bathrooms in their house and I told her to look at your blog for some bathroom inspiration choices :)
ReplyDeleteYes, this does bring out the lurkers, like me. Please stay safe. You are in all our thoughts.
ReplyDeleteYou were the first thing I thought of this morning when I heard Cambridge/Boston. This is all so crazy...please be smart and be safe.
ReplyDeleteScary stuff! I have been watching the news on and off hoping I don't spot your house in the background of all this madness.
ReplyDeleteBe safe
ReplyDeleteI was up all night following after being awoken by the helicopters overhead. Too close for comfort. Going a bit stir crazy at this point. Hope this ends soon - with no more innocent casualties.
ReplyDeleteBeen thinking of you and all the others in this area-stay SAFE!
ReplyDeleteWorked half a day and home now to watch CNN incessantly.
I'm amazed at the power of social media( some of the important photos that led authorities to these heinous people were taken on cell phones and posted on FB)
It's so surreal to see Beantown look so empty on the news reports.
Hope they wrap this up ASAP-and for everyone's sake, with no more loss of life.
My tv is on 24-7 watching as this unfolds. We have our tragedy too here in Texas and it's just one of those very sad times in our world. I cannot even imagine being on lock down! I hope you have lots of food and water...it could be a while! I hope not. Crazy stuff!
ReplyDeleteWatching Fox News 24/7. We love you Boston. Stay safe. Stay safe. Stay safe. ox, Marilyn
ReplyDeleteWow, it must be surreal and a little scary. I hope they resolve this soon. It is so senseless and so horrible. I can't imagine how the families of the victims must all be feeling. The whole city must be in shock.
ReplyDeleteThinking of you. xo T.
Been thinking about you all day. I cannot tear myself away from TV today...so different from my week of being unplugged. Be safe!!!
ReplyDeleteSo good to hear you are safe and sound. Thought of you as soon as I heard the news. Bonnie
ReplyDeleteI just heard the lock down was lifted. Be safe!
ReplyDeleteYour blog family is right there with you. Hang tough! franki
ReplyDeletestay save in your lovely home. we are watching breaking news right now.
ReplyDeleteCathy
I thought about you all day.
ReplyDeleteGlad to get home and read that you are OK.
I'm now watching the News and I can't believe this is real.
I can't imagine what this day must have felt like for you and everyone else who has been locked down.
Stay safe.
Just checking in. Been thinking about you all day.
ReplyDeleteThe drama is over. Sleep well tonight.
ReplyDeleteGlad they captured him and you can rest safely now!
ReplyDeleteI'll be so glad when all of this is over and your lives can get back to normal.
ReplyDeleteI will never understand one human wanting to hurt another let alone when people come together to celebrate anothers achievements. Glad you're safe Steve and celebrate they caught the other guy.

God, what a week. I'm so glad it's over and you can venture out and participate in life again.
ReplyDeletesending you all the best wishes for peace and an early spring.

Although the nightmare has ended, my thoughts and prayers go out to the families and friends of those that are no longer with us and those that will be forever scarred by this senseless act of violence.
ReplyDeleteLike many others, the drama of yesterday's events kept me with either an eye to the TV or an ear to the radio. I'm so glad that part of it has reached a conclusion without anyone else losing their life. What an incredibly frightening time that must have been!!!! I just can't imagine! I commented to my husband this morning that even the "regular criminals" were scared enough to stay indoors! :-) Our Kansas City Royals are in Boston for what was to have been a 3-game series, so those of us here in KC watched and worried for their safety as well. I was SO relieved when they finally decided to call off the game! No point in risking lives for a game that can be played later!
ReplyDeleteSo glad to know you and your are safe & sound! Best wishes as you guys start the healing process.
Fortunately he has been captured, because he would have continued to hurt and kill people. Unfortunately, it will never be over for the victims and their families. Sometimes it is impossible to understand us humans. I am so happy you are safe, Steve.
ReplyDeleteBest...Victoria
Nineteen years old, what a tragedy the whole thing is, and so utterly pointless. Glad that you are fine and can now get back to your usual routine.
ReplyDeleteThought of all my Boston blogger friends this week. Sending good thoughts and prayers for calm up your way.
ReplyDeleteIncredible week.
ReplyDeleteYou were on my mind as well. The Blogger World and the Real World are connected. So relieved to hear you are safe and recovering from your traumatic week.
Best wishes from another Blogger friend,
Karla in CA.
I CAN'T IMAGINE WHAT IT'S BEEN LIKE! HANG IN THERE STEVE.
