Cambridge and Abouts – Part 2
The posts on my MIT trip here are all tagged as ‘Boston’ – but that’s really a bit of a misnomer. Because while all the attractive sites of visitation are indeed in Boston, I’m really living and working in the

Freedom Trail Part 4: Faneuil Hall, an Escape Artist, and St. Stephens’ Church
The next segment of the Freedom Trail was a very long walk that took me about an hour to finish. Upon leaving the Old State House, the trail continued along Congress Street. Just further down this road is the current
Entertaining Kids
Over on Saturday evening, we drove back to our family home at Lentor for a get together dinner. I think that this was also to had been a mother’s day sort of celebration but that might have got lost somewhere
