217. Stonehurst

In the town of Waltham, MA, there is a place called Stonehurst. On a recent rainy day I visited this historic house, as well as Gore House, also in Waltham.

215.1 - Special Edition - Snail in my garden!

So we know I love snails, and I have started to garden. Okay, maybe you didn't know that, but I have a little garden. Today I found a snail in my garden!

These handsome visitors greeted me at my door the other day.

A sweet fellow took me for a picnic on the fields at MIT recently. Nothing fancy, but an absolutely wonderful time :].

212. Freedom of Speech

There was a protest in Harvard Square, Cambridge, today. People asking, where is my vote, in response to the election results released by the Iranian government. I don't claim to know whats right or wrong, but this employment of the right to free speech was a thing of beauty, particularly on this rainy sunday. Things were clearly quite different in Iran.

211. Seilide

This seilide, or snail, was on my mother's walk way recently. When I was young my family would sing Irish songs, including one about the snail or seilide.

Roughly it goes as follows:
Seilide, Seilide, bookee, stick out all your horns, all the old ladies are coming to see you.
Sung softly I have seen the snails stick their horns out at the aquarium.

The Clancy Brothers perform it here:

210. Outcry


This is on the Charles River in Cambridge. There have been many-a-day I've felt over-worked and under-appreciated, and after driving by this graphitie I shake my fist with a "yeah!" of solidarity. Somehow knowing I'm not the only one who could use a little recognition makes it a little better.

208. Friendly staff members


The staff members of my local Starbucks brighten my day each morning. This is a kind message they left me recently. I'm trying to deminish my coffee intake, but not seeing them will be sad.
