Boston AIDS charity ride

The usual whirlwind carried me through the night of Thursday, July 22nd as the skies above threatened rain with winds whipping around too. I dashed across concrete cracks in the sidewalk up to the pressured hard-sell (at least 10 emails from various sponsors) charity event for the Boston AIDS ride. In the lovely ballroom set back oddly in the Toy Center (which used to be a grand Fifth Avenue hotel), was a semi-formal, casino, raffle, open bar, hors d'oeuvred evening sponsored by Alley companies brought out a fair following of friends in support of this cause.
