We visited the harbor seals outside the New England Aquarium today. Challenging lighting conditions, but here is one posing for us, framed by my shadow on the glass.

We’re back downtown for a re-do of our week in Boston, after Lis’s misfortune in June. Here’s a view from our apartment’s window.

My company’s Boston office is moving, and today was my last day in the old building. I will miss it: lovely spacious modern office, quite convenient location, tenant amenities to spoil us. But just too much square footage for the dozen or so of us who come in regularly.

As these things go, the new space isn’t ready yet so I will be work from home for up to a couple months starting tomorrow.

I guess it never crossed my mind before now that lobsters can be left-handed.

The mural on the side of the weird-looking vent building in Dewey Square is in the process of being replaced. I cannot even imagine the kind of planning that goes into this sort of thing.

This is the chicken who lives on my desk. She was part of the gag birthday gifts from my coworkers when I turned 40. (I have no idea why she’s holding a golden egg / football.) We’re moving offices, and I think she’ll fit into one of the boxes, as packing material if nothing else, and continue to be a quirky co-occupant of my space in the new office.

 

Not a rock concert, but a view of the harbor in the fog.

It’s nice to take a walk along the water after dinner. I’m sure I’ve taken just about this exact photo dozens of times, but it never gets old.

This house is actually part of the campground, but it’s directly across the street from Oak Bluffs harbor.
