The guy in green won a few blocks later. I watched from my apartment.

Battle of Lexington

"Stand your ground; don't fire unless fired upon, but if they mean to have a war, let it begin here."

Mood Meter

Technology. Recognizes whether or not people passing by are smiling and then puts the corresponding face on top. I don't know what it is recognizing in my purse- I don't have a purse pooch like Paris Hilton.

Chihuly at MFA

I really enjoyed this exhibit and the new American Wing. Thanks to Amy Beth for sharing her museum with me. This was my first goodbye to a Bostonite which was sad.

David's Sushi

So good!

Call to spring

Please come quickly! We celebrated the equinox early with the usual: chanting, flute playing, and candle jumping.

Sugar House Hopping

We learned how maple syrup is made. Fun fact: it takes 40 gallons of sap to make one gallon of syrup.

Return of the river

The Charles is officially completely thawed as of today. There were even sailboats and rowers out plying the waters today. Part of me was sad that it had thawed.

Protected from the frost

I walked by this front yard on my way back from Trader Joe's. It looked a little ghoulish at first, but I think they are boxwood plants that they want to keep from freezing.

Davis Square Darlings

Creepy statues in Davis Square with metallic faces. That old lady looks jealous that Erin is moving in on her man.
