Celebrities

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?
