Part of living in the Boston area is having to deal with Harvard. There's a lot of great things, like beautiful graduate students who can become your girlfriend, and a lot of not so great things, like boatloads of over privileged undergrads.
Another one of the positives is that there are a lot of great speakers who come around. In the last few weeks I've seen Gordon Wood, a prominent Revolutionary historian, Jeffrey Sachs, an internationally renowned economist, and just yesterday, Chuck Hagel, Republican Senator from Nebraska.
Hey, they're celebrities to me. The unfortunate part is that when they come around, they're usually hawking books ... which can be of dubious quality. I guess nobody bats 1000%.
For a little color, here's a picture from behind my house.
Also, I think the commenting might be fixed. Why don't you give it a try?

Well, at Rotary today, Dr. Lightner from McDaniel College gave us a very entertaining summary of the process of writing and the content of a book he has written about the history of the school, Forward and Fearless, I believe it's called. McDaniel (formerly Western Maryland) touts some famous grads, the man who ran the Nuremberg trials, for example and some famous athletes, during the depression when the Green Terror were riding high.
Although McDaniel is ok, it would be cool to have Harvard at your backdoor - nice picture by the way.
How is Irene doing on her regimen?
