The past few weeks in Boston have been pretty uneventful. The weather has been too cold for urban outdoor activities, but I do feel our winter cred has been restored after our St. Louis hiatus. We discovered that the Imax movies at the Boston science museum are free on Fridays, so we saw Roving Mars and The Greatest Places the past two weekends. Spoiler alert: Mars had water and surprisingly Enid, Oklahoma is the world's greatest place. I saw Genesis in Imax as a very young lad and have been a fan ever since. I remember a time lapse sequence showing a landscape changing on a geological timescale and having my mind blown.
We needed to escape the confines of the house after being snowed in for the third time so we drove out to Cape Cod on MLK day. It was the best and only cape I've ever visited. We didn't go all the way out to the tip where the open spaces are, but the landward 2/3 do not warrant a special trip to Mass. Seeing the building that housed the "Sandwich Police" was good for a chuckle, however. Actually, a surprising number of unfunny building and business names are rendered mildly humorous when you stick the word sandwich in front of them. You know what else is surprisingly funny? A guy with very strong Boston accent who also has a very strong gay "accent." That's what.
In other news, Liz got a job tutoring kids who have to take extended leaves of absence from school. She's hoping for more "courageously battling cancer" kids than "a danger to his teachers and classmates" types. Also, I am unbeatable in Scrabble, which makes me feel...umm, good.
