I’m in Boston this week… working.  Fortunately, my nights have been pretty good.  Ate some good raw oysters Tuesday night at East Coast Grill in Cambridge.  Last night I had a fried platter of fresh local fish, clams, etc.  It was a slice of heaven.  Top it all off ( Read more... )

Howdy folks… say hello to my new (used) bike. It’s a Giant Halfway I got off of eBay, and it’s awesome. I think I’ll call it Optimus Prime (for obvious reasons).  The bike folds up… which means I can take it up to Chicago with me, even if I go up there via train.  ( Read more... )

April 30th is Keep a Poem in Your Pocket Day in New York City. The idea comes from the poem by Beatrice Schenk de Regniers. It’s a simple poem with a grand idea. I suppose there really is no requirement that one live in NYC to honor the day.
