How is it that such a big ball can look so flat? 62 degrees outside tonight. Sorry for all of my friends and family in northern climes.

No worries, I think we might stay above 0 tonight

But not tomorrow night, in or near Boston anyway.  :(

... moved away from Boston twelve years ago. I haven't looked back, although it is a great city. I recently attended an MIT reunion. I could barely comprehend how much Boston/Cambridge have changed over the last decade--particularly the Fort Point Channel and Kendall Sq. areas.

I lived in a rent controlled apartment in Central Sq. during the 1980s. My rent hovered around the mid $400 range. Central Sq. hadn't been gentrified.

Even Central Square is more gentrified than a few years ago, but nothing like Kendall Square.

My wife and I attended a fantastic solo violin recital at MIT last night. All of the Bach unaccompanied sonatas and partitas, played with a baroque bow on gut strings. Best I've ever heard them.

MIT is still a happening place.

I love MIT. Of course, I am biased.
