Hours theme: 3pm 

Why there was a Channel 5 helicopter hovering over Quincy High School when I went to take my 3pm picture, I have no idea.

Hours theme: 1pm 

A late lunch at my desk today.  We are in major crunch time at work.

Hours theme: 11 am

At 11 am on Wednesdays I attend one of only two weekly meetings I have scheduled.  Working for a small company does have its advantages.  This meeting is with our Support group.

Hours theme: 9 am

Today was election day in Newton — we elected a new mayor (results not yet in).  Our polling place — walking distance from the house, very convenient — also had a bake sale to benefit the 5th grade of our local school.  I bought a slice of pumpkin bread for my breakfast, to go along with the tea I usually make at this hour.  My office has a lot of late-starting people, so 9am is a good time for me to get things done before the hordes arrive.

I am going to try a theme this week.  The theme is “hours” — I will take a picture every two hours on sequential days — so today’s is at 7 am, tomorrow’s will be at 9 am, etc., until I have finished the week.

7 am — getting ready to leave
for work.  I have my lunch, my coffee, and my briefcase (into which I’m
putting my netbook), and have grabbed the bag of leftover Halloween candy for the
office.

I went to Rachel & Fred’s housewarming party today.  They had a good turnout, though this being Rachel there was still way too much food.

I helped Greg and Michael install a new storm door for Michael’s side door today.  It was freakishly warm, and slightly too windy for comfort doing this kind of work today.

These Delicata squash came with our Boston Organics order this week.  I think I will stuff them with something or other and roast them.

As we said good bye to Marc & Michaela, Greg and Jen came over for dinner, courtesy of Greg and Blue Ribbon BBQ.

Thanks Greg!

You know that when you see this on Rte 16 in Newton…

… that traffic inbound on the Pike has got to be horrendous.
