Yesterday in Boston was a great day for Ruby...a shitty one for me...54 degrees, constant light to moderate rain with wind gusts up to 35 mph! Ruby was in her element, loving every minute of it. Me?...not so much. I knew that we would eventually find the inevibilities of Spring in the Northern part of the country. In it's own way it's been really nice...I've always liked the rain, the clean smell in the air as the dust and dirt begin to settle....the rythmic sound, the feel of rain on your face...getting the windshield wipers adjusted to the right speed and now the smell of wet dog! I just don't like the wind! Weather wise today has been very similar to days past when I lived in the colder climates. We set off yesterday to search for a very small snipet of my childhood. My family lived in Newton Center, Mass. when I was 9 or 10. We were in Boston while my dad worked toward his Masters Degree from MIT. He was the first person from Chysler to recieve the Sloan Fellowship...a huge honor...a huge accomplishment! Obviously it's been a few years since we moved but I believe that this is the house we lived in for a year (not a 100%, but..it's actually a stab in the dark)! I was very fortunate to have the family and friends around me to make this a wonderful year! But the best thing to happen to me this year was the birth of my brother Curt! |
