Green-White-Checkered #2

This is out of line.  I get that it’s coaching, and he didn’t mean it literally (I hope), but you cannot discount the dynamic that it’s a man in a position of power and a woman wearing nothing but lingerie/sports bra & boy shorts.

Live it.

Love it.

Andrew Kitzenberg lives on Laurel Street, in Watertown, Mass. On Friday morning, just before 1 a.m., he heard a series of pops from outside his window.

Kitzenberg’s Twitter account was essential reading that confusing night, and he’s now published a series of photos taken from his window.
