Robert Cheruiyot won his second straight Boston Marathon on Monday. Cheruiyot fought the wind and rain to finish in an unofficial time of 2 hours, 14 minutes, 13 seconds. This represents Robert Cheruiyot’s third win in Boston in the past 4 years.
Boston Marathon Cancelled?
April 15, 2007 By
Despite rain, freezing temperatures, and relatively strong winds, the Boston Marathon will go on (at least at this point). All runners have been emailed to tell them it could be a really challenging event and to bring appropriate attire to run in.
Best of luck to those who are braving the elements (and who have qualified)!
2007 IRS Tax Deadline Update
April 13, 2007 By
If you are taking a holiday weekend trip, and are worried about getting your taxes out the door in time for the typical April 15th tax deadline, rest easy, as the IRS has pushed back the 2007 tax deadline until Tuesday, April 17, 2007.
Taxpayers will have extra time to file and pay because April 15th falls on a Sunday in 2007, and the following day, Monday, April 16th, is Emancipation Day, a legal holiday in the District of Columbia.

Boston Street Sweeping
April 1, 2007 By
Rather than post an April Fool’s gimmick (stay alert today, there will be a lot of false news out there, all in good fun we hope), we thought that it would be worthwhile to remind everyone that the City of Boston will begin street sweeping this week.
Boston street sweeping takes place between April and November, and parking restrictions are in effect on odd or even sides of streets – pay particular attention to posted signs for exact restriction days and hours on said days. Failure to comply with Boston street sweeping regulations will typically result in a $40 parking ticket.
