It's the tricorn hat

Patriot's Day wasn't something I was familiar with until I moved to Boston since some places of business were closed for the holiday and I asked what in the hell was going on. I try to let this holiday pass without notice but the Patriot's Day parade and festivites woke me up this morning with bagpipes and marching bands. I really hate parades and have since I was a kid. Loud. Noisy. Stupid. Next time I buy a house I'll be sure to check if it's on a parade route :)

The Boston Marathon is also a feature of Patriot's Day each year and this year a few patriotic Kenyan's won. In fact, 1st thru 4th of the men and 1st and 2nd of the women were Kenyan. The only way I'd run down the street, much less 26 miles, would be to have a lion chasing me but I guess the Kenyan people have had enough experience with that :)
