If you are an overall sports fan, than you are in the right city. Recently with the Red Sox heating up, the Celtics sweeping the series, and the Bruins getting their act together It seems that is a good time to be a Boston sports fans. If you haven’t been keeping up with any of the teams here is a quick update:
Red Sox:
With a 10-11 record so far, the Sox started the season off on rocky footing , but they are turning it around as they just came off a three game sweep against the L.A. Angels.

Celtics:
With a 56-26 record, the Celtics and are in the playoffs and have just taken game four between them and the N.Y. Knicks. Cross your fingers Bostonians because it seems like the Celtics may be going all the way.

Bruins:
With a 46-25 record, the Bruins are also in the playoffs and after what seems like a dismal start, the Bruins came back to win game 3,4, and 5. Hopefully with game 6 tonight, the Bruins will continue their hot streak.

Good Morning Boston Life Members,
From everybody here at the center, we hope you had a lovely Easter Sunday and got to spend it with you friends and family.
Now, on to the week ahead!
For a lot of people, the abundance, and over usage of technology has begun to take its toll. Multi-tasking has been called out, and students are beginning to find the difficulties associated with constant connection. In the news, the Metro recently put out an article this morning, expressing the difficulties students at Temple University had, when 31 of them were asked to unplug for the day. Not surprisingly only 14 of the assigned 31 students were able to complete the task:

Even closer to home though, professors at MIT have begun expressing concern as well as frustration at their students:
It seems that while the age of technology, and social networking may be on the upswing, a hint of turbulent times seems to be forecasted.
So until tomorrow,
Boston Life

Good Evening Boston Life Members,
Welcome to another dreary evening, and one that seems to be followed by another overcast day. For some of us here at the center, we suggest curling up in bed, and cracking open a good book. On days like today, going outside only to be met by a gloomy, and gray sky seems to be the last thing anyone wants to do. So hopefully you all are in the middle of a good read if not, here are some suggestions:

Marathon Monday:
The Boston Marathon is the world’s oldest marathon. Starting in 1897 with only 18 participants, the event has grown in huge proportions and is now world renown.
Patriots Day:
A holiday celebrated in Maine and Massachusetts, it is a civic holiday which commemorates the anniversary of the first battles of the American Revolutionary War: The battles of Lexington and Concord.
