I am at work again and wanted to update the news on the Boston Marathon 2013.

(CBS/AP) - CBS News correspondent Bob Orr reports sources are "very encouraged" by developments in the Boston Marathon bombing investigation, and says authorities are focused on a man seen in surveillance video at the site of the second explosion, with a black backpack that he placed on the ground while he was on a cell phone call.

The FBI has scheduled at 5p ET news conference.
Orr reports the man was wearing black jacket, grey hoodie, and a white baseball cap on backwards. He says it is not certain if the man in question is a witness or a suspect.
He also reported that while the man was on a cell phone, the first explosion occurred closer to the race finish line - and at that point, the individual mingled back into the crowd.


Authorities have been collecting photos and videos from surveillance cameras and other digital media since the twin bombings Monday that killed three people and wounded more than 170 others.

I am writing from work today and cannot take long.  I need to do this as I am behind a couple of postings.  I have reports running in Oracle that I cannot work unless they are done, and have chosen this opportunity.

Two explosions went off near the finish line of the 117th Boston Marathon

Yesterday was the Boston Marathon and Patriot's Day.  The above happened at the end of the race.

I am EXTREMELY unhappy about it.  No further comment until my next writing.

April 3, 2013

I am always a day behind.  This morning I woke up before 6am to do laundry again. 


Yesterday we went to the bank and I forgot my wallet.  Now I have to go back to get it and that will make me late to work.  I have some projects to finish before I leave for Arizona.  I have to finish them before 5pm so that I can go to Zumba class.  That means I better pack and organize everything for my trip before I leave for work.  There are no unplanned minutes in the day. 

Life didn't used to be this way. 

I am trying to organize my life in such a way that there will be time to play and wonder and explore the world.  To talk about various topics.  To not feel that we are rushed.  To enjoy our time together - eat warm cookies on the kitchen counter - and laugh!

April 2, 2013

Not much to report for today or yesterday.  We are still chasing documents.  We went to the bank this morning to get the documents notarized with a New Hampshire notary, to avoid going in to Boston.

I must have left my wallet there.  Everyday is such a rush.  There is no time to really enjoy.

I promise not to live this lifestyle when my babies come home.

Leaving for Arizona over the weekend.  Cannot wait to relax.
