Dear Beantown, I'm so sorry for our loss

I've been following with great interest the developments in my home state following the tragic bombing that cost dear loss of life and limb.

When the story broke of explosions in the Copley area, I was horrified to hear of such tragedy so near my old stomping grounds. Despite my joy knowing my family and friends are safely tucked away in the western part of the state, I feel deeply distressed at the ensuing news.

So, I shall flick my Boston Bruins lighter I picked up at a local corner store while grabbing an early-morning Dunkin' Donuts coffee and send my beloved state some serious love and condolences. Peace to all.
