year.
I
got

D
E
E
So,
ladies
and
gentlemen,
must
have
been
on
some
type
of
body
for
the
last
three
weeks,
so
everyone's
quiet
be
good,
be
dance
a
little
while
I
want
to
just
stretch.
I
wish
everyone,
a
very
happy
really
I,
hope
you
holidays
are
great
assembly
of
90.
Both
said
we're
going
to
be
bringing
in
2020.
It's
amazingly
we're
at
the
office
of
a
few
minutes
ago.
Talking
about
the
State
of
the
City
speech
and
we're
talking
about
this
decade.
What
happened
this
decade?
I
mean
you
think
about.
E
What's
happened
in
this
last
two
decades,
since
the
21st
century
came,
it's
really
been
amazing.
We
had
the
attacks
of
9/11,
we
have
a
lot
of
Americans
lost
their
life,
we
got
the
the
historical,
but
we
had
the
drop
in
the
economy.
We
had
the
worst
recession
in
the
history
of
the
cut
in
the
country.
E
With
one
with
one
all
kinds
of
championships:
the
Celtics,
the
Romans,
the
Patriots
of
Red
Sox
all
want
championships,
Red,
Sox
and
and
the
Patriots
that
were
multiple
in
the
in
the
in
the
last
century,
the
Yankees
and
the
first
20
years.
I
think
we
accuse
one
of
a
16
World
Championships,
the
Red
Sox
at
one,
and
we
have.
We
have
the
three
in
this
this
century
the
Yankees
have
done.
So
that's
a
good
one.
Sorry
I
follow
you
Andy
fans
out
there.
E
E
To
take
a
minute
just
to
thank
the
people
that
he
gave
today.
First
of
all,
I
want
to
thank
g-body
Martinez,
who
has
done
an
amazing
job
of
running
Health
and
Human
Services
age
strong
falls
on
to
his
cabinet,
but
all
of
the
health
care,
or
they
diction
all
the
things
that
were
working
on
every
day.
I
want
to
thank
money
for
that.
I
want
to
thank
Emily
Shay.
E
And
I
want
to
thank
the
members
of
the
aged,
strong,
Commission
I.
Don't
think
there
are
any
more
dedicated
people
that
work
on
behalf
of
the
City
of
Boston
for
the
residents
of
our
city,
they're,
eight
strong
Commission,
they
care
about
you.
They
care
about
the
people
that
are
their
home,
look
and
make
it
van
and
what
they
gave
Sharona
for
all
their
great
work.
E
E
Want
to
thank
the
sponsors,
love
the
sponsors.
We
would
be
able
to
do
this
I
want
to
thank
all
the
sponsors,
Walgreens
and
all
the
other
sponsors.
Thank
you
so
much
for
for
your
great
work
as
well
for
the
great
work
you
do
and
if
they
go
on
the
stage
you'll
see
coming
up
on
the
screen
from
solving
us.
I
want
to
take
all
the
walls.
Yes,
I'm
gonna
run
across
for
all
the
walls
here.
E
E
E
E
You
know
2019
was
it
was
a
big
year
for
the
city,
especially
for
the
a
strong
Commission
we
did.
We
did
an
evaluation,
we
used
to
be
known
as
LD
Commission.
You
knew
that
and
we
wanted.
We
looked
at
it.
A
lot
of
you
helped
us
with
it,
and
we
wanted
to
reprint
the
office
to
reflect
our
goals
and
working
to
make
sure
that
you
live
in
the
best
city
in
applause
we
live
in
for
all
of
you
here
today.
We
want
to
see
a
Tron
campaign
to
defy
stereotypes
of
Aging
in
Boston.
E
We
also
continue
this
work
with
age-friendly
cities
through
historic
investments
in
our
schools,
libraries
and
more,
and
we
want
to
thank
you
for
everything
you
do,
because
it's
so
important
what
we
do
when
you
think
about
the
different
departments
in
our
city
of
what
we
have
in
our
city,
making
sure
that
we
reflect
every
single
community
in
the
nation
in
our
in
our
in
our
city
of
Austin.
So
thank
you
for
that.
E
This
is
this
is
the
time
of
year
that
we
all
reflect
on
the
past
look
forward
and
I
just
want
to
say
I'm
grateful
to
all
of
you
from
making
Boston
the
greatest
city
in
the
world.
I
know
I
can
speak
on
behalf
of
everyone
with
me,
particularly
city
council,
megaflare,
Danny
Flynn.
We're
grateful
for
your
support
to
put
us
in
a
role,
that's
responsible,
to
make
sure
that
we
can
see
you
to
move
our
city
forward.
E
I've
had
the
pleasure
of
being
here
and
tonight
we
have
today
we
have
about
20,
almost
2,500
people
all
together
here
for
the
celebration
and
the
seaport.
Hotel
has
been
such
an
important
part
of
this
for
us
to
help
us
have
this
event,
because
there's
not
many
places
in
Boston
that
are
this
big,
and
this
beautiful
and
I
come
here
for
special
events.
E
A
couple
events
I
come
here
every
year
for
is
the
match:
fallen
heroes,
Memorial
Award,
so
we
raise
money
for
the
match,
fallen
heroes,
those
men
and
women
who
lost
their
life
in
Afghanistan
and
Iraq
in
the
Massachusetts
created
the
Fallen
Heroes
memorial
for
them.
I
come
here
for
the
priest
dinner.
The
Catholic
Church
says
that
didn't.
E
Raise
money
for
the
retired
priests
in
the
eff
science
of
Boston
and
I
come
here
for
first
night,
with
these
three
events
and
Jim
comedy,
who
is
a
general
manager
of
the
seaport,
Hotel
has
worked
with
us
every
year
to
make
this
happen.
Next
ship
will
not
be
here
because
this
building
is
going
to
be
renovated
and
so
we're
gonna
find
a
place.
G
Have
a
terrific
position
here,
where
I
get
all
the
credit
when
things
go
right,
but
there
are
about
a
hundred
people
here
amongst
you
and
behind
those
curtains
that
make
this
happen
every
year.
They
work
very
hard,
so
I
also
want
to
give
them
a
round
of
applause.
For
all
that,
this
kind
of
terrific
pleasure
for
us
I
appreciate
this
recognition.
I
love.
