We had a great time at the Boston Pride Parade yesterday — beautiful weather and a festive celebration! Wow, that was a big parade, too. We watched for about an hour, walked across downtown, had lunch, came back and the parade was still going! Here are some pictures Becky took if you didn’t get to…

Recently I asked you guys what kind of team you’d like to see in charge if a Disney-led Percy Jackson reboot were to happen. Again, I have to warn you this is completely HYPOTHETICAL, just wishful thinking, not based on any concrete plans in the pipeline. Even if some reboot happened someday, I would have…
