Lodi to Cambridge

I went into Cambridge tonight for burgers and ice cream with my friend Sonia, who is in the city for a four-week pharmacy school internship. I first met Sonia three years ago, when she and her family put me up in Lodi, CA while I was walking across America. It was really cool to see her again.

You know the postal service is in trouble when a mailwoman stops in the town library to check her email.

Bianca’s Bananas for Bananas!

Over the weekend my workplace had a fundraiser walk. Price Chopper donated some fruit for the finish line (thanks!) at Elm Park. But even after the 200+ walkers and random passers by were through, we still had two boxes of bananas and a box of apples left over. The next day, Bianca at the front desk posed with this bountiful bowl of bananas. So if you’re feeling a little potassium deficient, come on over and take a banana or five.

Bye Bye Borders

Borders Bookstore closed down yesterday. This is the site in Marlborough, the last one in the Worcester area. As the number of brick-and-morter bookstores decreases, I expect we’ll see more and more people returning to their local library. At least that will always be there, right? But maybe not. I always assumed the post office would be there, too, and look at the changes being made to that local institution….

Perfect Pepper

Picking my plants today. Unfortunately the cucumbers and watermelons were a wash, but the peppers grew well and I even got two separate harvests from the green beans.

Hello from Cape Cod Pt. II

This weekend Jen and I went to the Cape, to stay with one of her co-workers from her lab. Admittedly, it was nice to get away from the non-stop 9/11 media saturation. Here are Jen and Tim relaxing in the backyard, watching the cranberries grow.

Greetings from Cape Cod

Jen and I are on the Cape this weekend. We went to the pier in Chatham, where seals hang out and wait for the fishing boats.
