A lot of last night seems sort of like a dream. Or perhaps a drug-induced hallucination. Jodi and Whitney being good sports during the Dread Ribbon Dance, clutching one another’s hands for support.. This morning I was awoken by too much light, glistening and glittering… Heather was poking me and pointing to the landing. Dusted with…

Happy birthday, high school crush. Aleithea, if we ever cross paths again, your’s is the ONLY birthday that has ever stuck in my head. Boston is full of the brightness. I envy Heather’s capacity for sleeping on her stomach despite the beauty of the sun-filled scene. Yesterday was a day of Scrabble and fish –…

The moment we leave Providence, the clouds start breaking up. Here in Somerville (effectively part of Boston) – well, we’re visiting with my old, old friend, Whitney – and her apartment is beautiful, and vast, with lots of skylights… and it’s like trying to sleep inside Towson Town Centre… or some other vast, white, sparkly…

I’m not actually sure what the local area is called – if it’s got a specific name – But Wayland Avenue has a short run of cute…

Tonight we headed out to the Century Lounge – I’m tired of empty bars and smatterings of applause. Already I miss home. Maybe it’s just the weather, but there’s just no ENTHUSIASM here. Sigh. But Rob got up on stage with us and rocked out…. that at least was very nice. I just wish the…

The last thing we did before departing for Rhode Island was to go visit Janna’s new apartment in Baltimore. Great apartment, great stairs. “…you honestly brought tears to my eyes tonight listening to you play. You made me think about my life, and my choices, and my goals and aspirations (believe it or not)… Your…
