Very busy this week, trying to get things neatly squared away because I'll be in
training (in town but a different site) for the first half of next week and going
to watch Rudder compete in the Head of the
Charles after that.
And my catsitter has retired, damn it. Said
she had to go get a "real job". Phooey. I hate to have friends take care of the
cats unless they are people who ask us for favors involving similar levels of
work, something that the friends who have offered to watch them are NOT GOOD AT.
(Are you guys reading?)
Speaking of traveling, any idea what we
should do in Boston, besides participating in (him)/ watching (me) the race? We
won't have a car. Remember, I was living in Worcester, MA, when I started this
diary, so I've seen some of the sights, but by no means all. I've eaten in Faneuil
Hall, been to the top of the Pru, been to the Science Museum and up in the Old
North Church's bell towere, where we even got to ring some bells. I've seen a
little of the Back Bay and Beacon Hill (from a car), been to Alcott's and
Emerson's houses and to Minuteman Park and seen "the rude bridge that arched the
flood". I've walked around Hahvahd Squeeah at night. I'd really like to see John
Adams' house in Quincy but don't know if we can get there on the T. Other
suggestions?
