George Washington Statue in Boston Common
Saturday I joined a handful of ward members for a photo scavenger hunt. It started at the Boston Common. I was in a group with Molly (awesome), Chad (dating Molly), Annie (engaged to the EQP), and Aubrey (kinda boring). We had a really good time and I got to see a lot of Boston that I hadn't seen yet, including the public library, the Trinity Church, and the far side of the Common. I have a lot of exploring to do yet. The leaves are finally starting to change in Boston and they are absolutely gorgeous. All I need now is a sunny day so my crappy camera can capture the colors.
What else has been going on? Um...today at 3:00 Sophie, Langston and I headed over to the Lamont Library Poetry Room at Harvard. They had a presentation of recordings by the New York School poets, among whom is my favorite, Frank O'Hara. There were quite a few good poems that I hadn't heard yet, and the best one that was new to me was "One Train May Hide Another" by Kenneth Koch. It's my favorite poem of the week. There were quite a few people there and free candy, and after the recordings there was a fifteen minute documentary-style movie of Frank O'Hara reading his poetry and walking around NYC. Good times. After it was over we met Nick and Lisa over at Mr. Bartley's. I got "The Democrat." So the burgers I've tried are (in order of deliciousness):
- The Viagra
- The Tom Brady
- The Democrat
- The Hillary Clinton
Speaking of food:
Coolest Pizza Box Ever
I recently tried out the pizza place just down the street. It's called Pizzeria Dante, and although I had to pay $15.75 for a two-topping pizza, it was worth it. Best pizza so far. So when you all come to visit me, we can go there. And to Mr. Bartley's. Because there are a ton of burgers there still to try.
And now I leave you with one more picture of the beautiful city I live in:
