I Survived Hell Night! (I Think)

WELL, I THINK I have survived my first experience with the local Cambridge, MA culinary experience known as Hell Night. East Coast Grill, located in Inman Square in Cambridge, MA, hosts an event called Hell Night where they serve “things” super infused with hotness - drinks, appetizers, entrees. They use a bomb system […]

Walking on the Moon…

HOME SICK today. Ran out of cold meds so I had to walk to the store in the afternoon to get more. Sunshine, plugged ears and an out of body sensation.

Japan Nite 2009 - Music Madness Invades T.T. the Bears in Cambridge, MA

PATTY AND I MADE it out for this year’s tour of Japan Nite. Some new bands played, like Flip, while old favorites played as well, detroit7. More as I catch up on my sleep after being late on a school night last evening.

U2 in Somerville, MA Tomorrow

LOOKS like the lads will be playing just up the street tomorrow night at the Somerville Theater in Davis Square. I don’t listen to much local radio, so no luck on getting tickets.
It is weird to hear this after spending the last week listening to the new U2 album, “No Line on […]

Temperature Crash

I NEARLY froze to death on the walk home. I was not expecting a wind chill of 8 degrees.

Utah felt more like spring down in the snow free and none too cold clime […]

Too Tired, Must Blog

THE WEATHER feels like it has yo-yoed a bit, from a warm morning to a much colder evening. It has been spitting snow all day, but nothing outrageous in terms of snow fall, just enought to cover the sidewalks and make the roads a bit messy.

Friday Night Driving

I LEFT WORK a bit early today in hopes of beating the traffic out of Cambridge, MA and the forecasted snow that was supposed to hit southern Vermont. The drivers displayed the usual sense of senseless lane changes, sudden turns without indication, and passing on the right while going straight in a right turn […]

The Winter Wonderland of Slush and Rain

WATER, WATER everywhere, and ice hidden underneath. It took me almost an hour to walk home. I had to avoid falling on my ass from all the invisible ice or being swallowed up by the deep pools of water everywhere. I would have just preferred more snow and no rain. Rain […]

Waiting for the Snow

FORECAST is for snow in the Boston area today. Nothing yet, just dark, grey skies. It is a lovely 11 degrees at the moment.
