Totally wild finish in Tri Valley League as Westwood beats Norwood 34-32 in OT. Westwood tied it on final play of regulation w 20+ yd TD pass. Extra point to win it (Norwood missed prior PAT bc of excess celebration penalty) muffed at snap. Then OT winner. @BostonHeraldHS

If you ever want a visual representation of the word "mansplaining" just turn on C-SPAN right now and watch the body language of almost every male legislator talking to their female colleagues.

Sweet story of love at any age. 76 yr-old Russ Osborn, a widowed veteran, made a vow to never marry again. But that was before he met Nancine Brooks at @LifeAt2Life's campus in Shirley, MA. They tied the knot today in ceremony w/ fam & friends. #ValentinesDay #Boston The Castle Group

Big moment in #Newton as @LifeAt2Life breaks ground on Opus, its 1st development targeting middle-market seniors. 174-apts breaking ground a year ahead of schedule & already 95% pre-sold. Lt. Gov Kim Driscoll, Mayor Ruthanne Fuller & many more in attendance. The Castle Group #Boston

I spent a few months working on this piece for the The Eagle-Tribune on Andover High's 1st girls bball title in 2003, a story of tragedy & triumph & how we remember our past. Huge thanks to everyone who spoke to me for this piece & especially Bill Burt 🇺🇸. eagletribune.com/sports/andover…

ESSAY: “She was something akin to a 1970s AOC,” writes David Tanklefsky, of Bella Abzug. “Bella was a one-woman wrecking crew of the gendered status quo.” wbur.fm/3M6Klxp

COMMENTARY: “Paid family leave is not a vacation and shouldn’t be thought of as one. It’s just a different type of work -- one that society has historically undervalued and placed on the weary shoulders of women,” writes David Tanklefsky. wbur.fm/3M8XWV0

So sorry to hear about Heather Walker's passing. She was such a gem. Just a wonderful spirit and an incredibly kind person. Loved working with her the few times I got a chance to. Condolences to her family and the Boston Celtics and NBA communities.

Thinking a lot about this night from back in the fall of 2019 - a bowling bash for marcus smart's foundation we covered for 7News. Heather totally in her element w/ @tackofall99 and Lenny Clarke and then former Red Sox reliever Jim Corsi (right). Both gone way too soon.

Hoping on here quickly to wish a happy retirement to one of my favorite Boston University professors, Chris Daly. He quite literally wrote the book (in fact a few) on the history of journalism in the U.S. and is a fount of writerly wisdom and an all around good dude. Thank you Chris!

Didn't realize that Limp Bizkit guerilla warehouse roof concert ('99) and the Ray Bourque Stanley Cup trophy celebration at City Hall ('01) when he won with the Avalanche both happened on June 13. Turn of the century Boston was a wild time to be in middle school.

Resharing this video from about six years ago of Patrice casually strolling into an interactive fan faceoff event outside Faneuil Hall we were covering for @7news. I love the Blades fist bump. One of the most unassuming superstars you'll ever see. Boston Bruins #Boston
