out of date

Decided to finally get rid of my old textbooks, which have been sitting in the basement since we moved here.  Not only have I never looked at them, they are all completely outdated.  I learned that Newton’s recycling program will take hardover books if you remove the cover.  So, away they go.

 

breakfast treat

I had a very early appointment at MGH this morning.  So early that when I was finished, I didn’t want to head home just yet because it was still peak rush hour. What to do?  Go out for a tasty breakfast, and get some cookies to bring home, of course.

Blues, jazz, swing and more!

Wow, the Squirrel Nut Zippers are fun to see live!  I didn’t even know 90% of the songs they performed, and I had a blast.  So much energy, so much charisma, so much talent.  Take a look at the number of instruments being played, and then realize that several of them actually switched off among several instruments, and taking turns at lead vocals.  Really fantastic show!

the 3 guys on the left with the washboard, spoons, and horseshoe were, in fact, the horns section. The guy with the fiddle played…I don’t know…5 different things? So fun.
