2. So why aren't you out there, joining the party?

If my city weren't hip-deep in snow, I'D be out partying even though I'm 900 miles away.

14. A good reason. Actually, the only good reason.

Otherwise you should be cavorting in the street.

The remote was commandeered and we're off the news channels. I would love to see that celebration.

And we get to hear all the lovely Boston accents!

18. I would love to own a bar in or around

Boston for the next couple of days. I lived in Cambridge for three years when I was in law school and have a great deal of affection for Boston and its environs, not to mention the Sawx, the Pats and the Celtics.

23. I'm out here in Texas and had gotten back home an hour or so before

the announcement that the suspect was in custody. I said to a visiting friend that within a few minutes there will be a party in the street. A few minutes later the first images of the crowd gathering to applaud the police came through the screen. At that point I said "Now all they need is someone to break out the beer and Boston and Watertown are going to be partying in the streets tonight like the Red Sox had won the World Series!"


Useless CTD trivia: I was born in Boston but left at a week old and never have been back though I have always wanted to get up that way.

21. This was so quickly resolved

I can still remember how only two days ago I was wondering if they would be able to identify and capture the bombers.

22. I said it on Monday; you can go find the thread.

That was the most photographed block on the planet on Monday, and that was going to be the break.

24. I have some advice...
