Sunday – 2/5/2107

at Ryles.

Brunch with the regular crew at Ryles in Inman Square. Got confused about where I was headed, kept trying to drive to Davis Sq. The pull of the long history of brunches at now defunct Johnny D’s probably. Arranged not to sit near Ruth Goodman. Talked mostly with Michael Beach and Edie Bresler, new love interest for Cindy Weisbart.

Lunch with Paul and Ruth Richards at Paddy’s in West Newton

Super Bowl

Very exciting game during the last quarter. Improbable outcome.


Vertigo continues especially getting up in the middle of the night.

Saturday – 2/4/2017

Breakfast at Esther’s house. Picked up Ellen Feldman and drove to Addison Gallery in Andover.

Addison Gallery

Excellent exhibitions. Disturbing series on the Manzanar Internment Camp by Ansel Adams, very propagandistic. Surprising show about Triple Candie group that showed things in a warehouse on 126th St in Harlem during the ’70s. See the slide show of things I liked here. Also revisited a Charles Sheeler painting Ballardvale. The ship models in the basement are still a treat.

Karen’s Clams

Drove down to Wollaston Beach in North Quincy. Both beachfront clam shacks were closed for the season. Duh!! Found Burke’s Seafood just off 3A in North Quincy center. Meltdown averted. Food was good, ambience excellent local.

Seen in front of Catholic church around the corner on 3A. Superbowl is tomorrow. Guess Jesus is on the Patriot’s side.

I’m Not Your Negro – movie

Saw this at Landmark in Cambridge with Ellen Feldman. Outstanding, compelling. Baldwin, as noted earlier in the Fall 2016 at HAL workshop, still speaks to us.

Dinner at the Friendly Toast

A Kendal Sq. eatery favored by Elfel. Drove to Belmont to stay with Bill and Nancy. Arrived on schedule at 8:30 pm sharp.

A throwback. Still good. Still cheap.

 

Sunday – 2/1/15

Continuing our Super Bowl Weekend.

Johnny D’s for Brunch with Boston gang. Frank Tadley, Ellen Feldman, Ruth Goodman attending. Spent most of the time taling with Frank. He told long story of a bike ride in early ’70s from Scotland to London. Then drove to Cindy Weisbart’s house. She is recovering from back surgery. Debbie Milligan appeared. Lunch with Ruth and Paul Richards at Cheescake Factory at Chestnut Hill Mall.

Back to Bill and Nancy’s house in Belmont. Weather forecast is for large snowstorm to move in so we care considering leaving to return to Hudson tonight and not be stuck here until Tuesday morning.

Good talk with them over Iggy’s pizza before game. Game was very exciting with Patriots pulling it out in a very unpredictable ending in the last seconds.

Drove to Hudson that evening. Began to snow seriously in the Berkshires on Mass Pike. Near white out conditions on Taconic at end.
