I COULDA’ BEEN THERE — by Steve Nadis
Save for a few mitigating factors, I might have been on that fateful bus that pulled into Boston’s South Station at 8:15 last night. I could have been one of the people splattered with blood when murder suspect Stephen Marshall shot himself in the head with a .45 caliber handfun. I was up in Portland, celebrating Easter with my wife’s family. My wife and kids were going to spend the night. I decided to go home, partly because we had left our cat Sunshine outside, and Sunshine is spoiled. (I don’t know how she would have coped with being left outside all night.) The other factor was my mother-in-law, who has a tendency to work a lot and was thus open to the idea of heading back to Boston last night. So I drove back with her, rather than catching an evening bus from Portland. The rest, as they say, is history…

As much fun as bus rides usually are Snake, that would have been a bummer.
Seems to me that your mother-in-law is moonlighting as your guardian angel.
Yer both right. I hardily agree.
Unfortunately, when you think about it - it was a kinder shock factor to say blood. The news said Marshall shot himself in the head. Ew.
i love your blog, great !
