News of the Summer of 2014





                                                  News of the Summer of 2014


One of the biggest tragedies of the summer of 2014 was Robin Williams committing suicide. Robin was one of the best and most well respected actors in the world. He has played leading roles in some of the biggest and best movies of all time and it is awful that he is gone.

Another important event of the summer of 2014 that affected me  personally was the Market Basket protests. I work a Market Basket so I was at the center of all of the controversy. I didn't get paid for almost a whole month because of all the protests and part-time layoffs. It was a very difficult time for everyone involved.

My Summer '014

     





                                                               My Summer of 2014


The Summer of 2014 was a great summer. I did a ton of fun things throughout the course of the summer but 2 events that really stood out to me were my trip to Fenway and my week at the beach.

I went to Fenway on August 2nd for a game between the Red Sox and the Yankees. Me and my friend Conor drove down for the game which was at 4 o'clock. We got down to the game around 3:45 and then went in pursuit of tickets for as cheap as possible. We encountered a scalper who had 2 tickets for 60 a piece which seemed really reasonable seeing as that it was a day game against the Yankees and it was also Yoenis Cespedes debut for the Red Sox so we took the man up on his offer assuming that the 2 tickets were together. They were not even close to each other. My ticket was for the Grandstand and Conors was for the Lodge Box. Conors seats were far superior and there was an empty seat next to his so we sat there and it was a great day.

 

 
Another great event of my summer was when I spent a week at Hampton Beach. It was probably the nicest beach house I have ever stayed at and it was basically on the beach. A lot of my family was really close by so we all hung out at each others houses and it was just a really great week. The weather was perfect except for one day in which there was a terrible storm but it was actually really nice.
