Howard Hughes Wanders Out Among the Artifacts

Mar 19, 2010 13:40

A third consecutive sunny day in Providence, warm enough that I can believe spring isn't too far away. The willows are greening. There are a few flowers here and there. My office window is open again (it was open last night until I went to bed about 2 a.m.), and the temperature out there is a not unpleasantly mild 66F. We made it into the low 70s ( Read more... )

So, yes...a much needed day out and among other people and among the sorts of things that make me smile.

You're very welcome. Hesheit clearly needed to be yours (or vice versa).

That museum is amazing and thank you for reminding people of it. Going to see it a few times long ago isn't nearly enough, and I would see it with different and more appreciative eyes now. (Greer's pretty amazing, too, but she's always seemed that way. :-))

Oh, and your octopus is DEFINITELY amazing! ^_^

It's definitely one of my most favorite.

Isn't he/she, though.

Thank you for blogging about this. I hadn't heard of Raven Books and will now definitely check out the shop.

A truly fine bookshop. They've just opened a new location (or are just about to) on Newbury Street.

Oh, nice. I hadn't heard that. I approve of bookstores doing so well-especially in this climate-as to be able to develop satellites.

I see your plush octopus and raise you a knitted Firefly-class vessel.

I adore book shops like that. There is one in Georgetown (of DC fame) that I just adore and your photos remind me of it, and it is a very pleasant memory. Thanks for sharing.
