The Weekend

[Alex2507]

We go at least once a month to get some food in the North End ...

You mean to a restaurant, not a market. I would definitely be interested in that. My girls is Italian and has been there 'before' me ... ... but that was way back and I have never really done the North End. I would be happy to take advantage of your greater knowledge of the area.

I have not accomplished any of the tasks that I mentioned earlier. In my defense, I did work Saturday night.

Actually we were there last night before going to see The Blue Man Group in The Charles Play House. Sorry to say that the show wasn't nearly as impressive as their The Complex Rock Tour Live DVD. We all expected more music and less marsh mallow throwing. We enjoyed parts of it but just didn't feel that it lived up to the expectations of an $80 show.

We watched one of their DVD's, my wife's eye's glazed over, no matter how much I said "But the sub woofer sounds great."

Today is the Boston tour that I like to take people on for my just my sister. The g/f stays home and the weather is holding out.

Don't people from OK get excited about seeing the ocean? I thought of suggesting the mansion tour in Newport, RI for you sister. I was too late with the idea though.
Sounds like you've got it all done, and had a good time.

Well we are still learning ourselves, but yeah restaurants not markets. There are so many down there it starts to get overwhelming. We just looks to see where the most people are and go in that one. Problem is most all of them are crowded. I will let you know though when we are planning another trip. Soon probably.

My g/f took her on that tour the first time she was here.
She had her daughters with her then and I took them to the beach.
They wanted to know why the water was salty.

I will let you know though when we are planning another trip.

Cool. If you're interested in going up to the 50th or so floor of The Prudential Building for ~$10/head, it's a great view providing the weather is cooperative. Just a thought if you haven't been.

I'm always up for a good meal.
Yesterday we had bacon wrapped scallops and today was some wild salmon.

mmm, we had wilde sockeye last night at home. We are always up for stuff we have not done. We go all over the place. We are going to try and do Mystic Seaport this summer too.

We'll have to look you two up next time we're in RI.

Stayed the a long weekend two years ago at the Hotel Providence.
We walked to see, (I think it was called 'Water Fire' ) they had food vendors and outdoor music.

The weekend is over. I got my sister to the airport this afternoon. Yesterday in Boston we lucked out and found a church on Newbury street hosting a piano concert by Russell Sherman. The program said that he was celebrating his 80th birthday. He didn't look a day over 78. Kinda neat for my sister. She was hoping for something like that. We watched Heat in the evening.

This weekend is gonna be tough to top but I feel like I should be putting effort into making more out of them now that the warmer weather is rolling in. Next weekend is ... never mind next weekend, tomorrow I should change the plugs, fuel filter and oil on the Focus. That's always a good time.

But there is a metaphor in the job your doing tomorrow. Problem is I gotta get the oil taken care of too.

I'll pay the $10 if she's cute but I don't see why we have to go to the Prudential Building.

It all part of the Rhode Island area mystic.

Another W'end is coming up and I feel lucky - my company holidays same days as NYSE, which means tomorrow - good friday we closed and I couldn't ask for better weather for this long w'end. I'm planning to take my new 55-200 glass to Central Park to get some fresh spring shots
