A
A
Want
to
thank
everyone
for
coming
out
today.
This
is
a
special
day
in
the
city
because,
as
we
lead
into
this
weekend,
obviously
there's
a
marathon,
but
the
tradition
of
bringing
the
swan
boats
back
and
putting
them
back
online
is
exciting,
because
what
I
think
it
tells
us
is
that
spring
is
on
the
way.
I
hope
it's
here
for
today
so
enjoy
today,
and
then
sleep
for
the
next
two
days
and
then
the
spring
will
be
here
again,
but
I
want
to.
A
Thank
you
all
I
want
to
thank
Lynn
as
well,
and
the
pageant
family
for
for
this
incredible
tradition.
I
want
to
thank
the
Parks
and
Recreation
Department
for
their
great
work.
If
you
look
around
our
parks
in
the
city,
they
are
beautiful
and
we
are
going
to
continue
to
works
and
make
the
investments
in
those
parks,
so
everyone
can
jump,
enjoy
them.
So
bottom
line
have
a
great
day
happy
spring.
Go
Boston
Celtics,
go
Bruins
for
Red
Sox.
