Happenings

It's a post-snowstorm day here in Boston (as in much of the northeast) and the first biggest storm we've had since December. I thought Boston people wouldn't go into hiding with the snow so much, but they certainly did - which made for a great commute home yesterday - no traffic at all!

Last weekend Katie had a "golden weekend" (two days off in a row - first time since Christmas break, last time until the last weekend in March!). We took advantage of a nice sunny day to drive up the coast through marblehead and into Salem. It was a beautiful day as can be seen by the below pictures taken at Red Rock park.

Sunday, we became members of our church, so I guess that makes us officially "Presbyterians". Who would have thought?

Thursday we had dinner with some people in Katie's program. The husband of the host is a professor at Harvard named Dan Schrag, who studies climate change. He gave a presentation on climate change which was very interesting. A lot to think about, a lot of issues surrounding the topic (scientific, political, sociological).

Time now for me to clean up our apartment a little and do a little grocery shopping so that Katie has the ingredients she needs to cook a carrot cake for friends coming this evening. Her carrot cake is awesome. Mmmmm...
