In brief: Alleged burglar nabbed in just his skivvies
Location
Boston Police report arresting a Stoneham man on charges he tried to break into a Jamaica Plain home clad in just a black jacket, boxer shorts and a t-shirt.
Frank Drago, 26, was arrested around 2:25 this morning when a resident of 288 Amory St. called to report a man trying to get into her residence. Police say they found Drago hiding on the second-floor porch - and his pants, sneakers and a hat lying on the ground.
Drago was charged with attempted breaking and entering a residence in the nighttime.
Innocent, etc.

Leaving behind the memories when you move
Michael Ball reports he's moving from JP to another Boston neighborhood, and that means leaving behind all the memories - and two pets buried in the backyard, including a beloved cat:
... Eventually, we let the vet do the kind and evil deed and buried Tang with his cat bed and blanket far down where we planted a cherry tree as a living marker.
Our small house, which I love and my wife long ago tired of, has the predictable memories. Each wall, sometimes literally, is awash with invisible residue of events and words and thoughts of the five of us and our visitors. I would suppose the new owner should exorcise us.
Yet, the animals and ancestor in the backyard will remain known to me. Leave taking will require yet another ritual.

In hindsight, JP man probably realizes today wasn't the best day to start re-doing his roof
William provides the blow-by-blow for his neighbor's re-reroofing project, which he started today:
... Luckily I had a huge tarp to add to Josh's collection and the guys frantically started to cover up the house. This was no easy job. Check out the driving rain and the look of grit determination on Bill's face. They got it covered up in short time and now it looks like some of the houses from back home in the Ozark Mountains. ...
