It's Patriots' Day, the Red Sox play Toronto at 11:05 and the Boston Marathon kicks off soon. The commemoration at Lexington Green already went off, and they are about ready to have the reenactment at the Old North Bridge in Concord. Tomorrow is the 236th anniversary of the Battles of Lexington and Concord, and "the Shot Heard 'Round the World" that didn't involve Bobby Thomson.
