Month: November 2015

With JohnK in town, a few of us went for a mid-day pub stroll in Cambridge & Boston (more walking than drinking) on this bonus good-weather day.

I’ll admit, “tail” was not the first thing that came to mind when I saw this parsnip (from Boston Organics, of course). But we’ll go with that.

Lis and I went to the Boston Public Market this morning. A very smart vendor was selling sampler packs of 6 different kinds of apples in one bag, for the indecisive.

We hung out with Susan today and had a tasty lunch at The Thirsty Pig in Portland, outside on the deck. Outside! In November! In Portland, ME!  Sadly, the most excellent Bissell Brothers “The Substance” beer I had is not available outside of Maine.

Today we went to Liberty Tool Company in Liberty, ME. As I described to Lis, it’s like a whole town’s worth of grandfathers died and sent the contents of all their workshops and attics to this one store. I bought 2 pairs of pliers and a nailset for under $5. I did not buy the teddy bear.
