This is Jerry, the mascot of the Summer of Play. Also known as Jerry the Sop. Sounds like a Mafia name. Don’t mess with Jerry the Sop. Give me an attitude about wearing a mask? I’ll send you to Jerry the Sop. You don’t want that.

Looks like NOT Duck has been truckin’ around New Hampshire….

Today at work we started what hopes to be “Boston’s longest paper chain” and draped it all over the stairs. It’s quite festive!

I like this one.
