I was at Boston College on Saturday listening to the syposium “Soldiers & Citizens: Military and Civic Cutlure in America"There were three panel discussions about the military and its relationship to society at large. The talk was quite fascinating. Best of all, I met Rachel Maddow and had my picture taken with her. She moderated the third panel.






I also chatted with Paul Rieckhoff, the executive director and founder of Iraq and Afghanistan Veterans of America (IAVA), who is often on Rachel's show. I purchased his book
'Chasing Ghosts'
. All in all, Saturday was awesome.

Today (Sunday) was more mundane. I raked leaves, visited the local bookstore, took a walk and went out to dinner with Mom & Dad.

Yesterday (Monday), I had a job interview which went well. I think a have a shot at this job though I won't bet the farm on it.

Last night, I was taken out to dinner by Leigh & Chris to the
Chateau
for a belated birthday celebration. The food and conversation were very pleasant. I told them of my visit to NYC and showed photos and video on my iPod. Later, I invited them to the house for birthday cake and to meet Tigger.

Today I went to my painting class. The process is challenging, but I think I am improving technique. This may have been my last class if I am hired for that job. I will just have to wait and see.


Evening in Cambridge

I had a splendid evening in Cambridge yesterday. I saw Sense and Sensibility at the Brattle Theatre with millari. Before that she and I and bionicbabe  (with her delightful 1 1/2 year daughter) had a lovely supper at the Full Moon Restaurant. I had not seen Bionicbabe since my brother's wedding. I was pleased to see her and pleased that she was happy in her life. She appreciated Mom's gift of Pat the Bunny for her daughter. Millari is staying with Bionicbabe for two weeks while she takes teaching enhancement courses in the Boston area.

My parents and I tried to eat at Grassfields this evening, but it was too crowded. So we went to Lee Chen which was virtually empty. It seemed that we would have the whole place to ourselves when an elderly couple arrived and were seated at an adjacent table. They turned out to be our former neighborhood dentist and his wife. Several minutes later, Dad's cousin and his wife came and sat at the other table next to us. Now that is serendipity.

I had a nice dinner at the Andover Inn last night. Grinninfoole & Millari were there. UT and his new wife picked up the tab.

I got a call back yesterday afternoon from an investment firm for an interview next week.

Today, I am getting a cold -- the one brought by UT from Hawaii.

I had dinner in Cambridge this evening with Austin and Julie at the Red House Restaurant. The food was excellent. Julie wanted to know about a foreign service career. Austin has experience in that arena, thus I facilitated this meeting between them. They hit it off right away and shared stories of their respective government service. It was my pleasure to have my two friends meet.

I was treated to dinner at the Colosseum Restaurant by my cousins, Chris & Lori, this evening. It was nice conversing with them. I had an excellent caesar salad and a marvelous entree of ziti alfredo with chicken, shrimp and broccoli.

Daylight savings started today, so although the clock says 11:52 pm, my body clock says it's 10:52. Thus, I am wide awake.

I had dinner two friends from Putnam and their husbands at the Peddler's Daughter restaurant this evening. The food was very filling but awesome.

I spent Saturday evening at Chris & Leigh's house. They served a lovely dinner of barbecued flank steaks, baked potatoes, baked bread, and salad. For dessert there was blueberry pie, with wild Maine blueberries, homemade by Leigh. It was delicious. In all it was a pleasant evening of good food and good company. Oh yes --- their cats, Vincent & Van Gogh, were delightful.

The only downside was that Julie was not present to share the evening with us. She had called me in the afternoon to say the she was not feeling well and would not be able to attend.

Last night I went to the Athenaeum to attend the reception of the exhibition Always Delightfully Cool: Summer Vacations in Northern New England, 1825-1900.  There was a fine collection of lithographs (some by Winslow Homer) and photographs. I joined Leigh and Chris at the show and afterward, we all had dinner at Silvertone. I drove them home later and, I am pleased to say, they were quite impressed with my hybrid vehicle.

Family Dinner

I had an wonderful dinner this evening at Cafe Sol Azteca Restaurant with [info]grinninfoole and [info]millari and our respective families. I have never been a fan of Mexican cuisine, but the food here is excellent, especially the cake I had for dessert. There was also good conversation all around -- certainly a welcome change from yesterday's stay-at-home rain washout.
