Single file on all but major street sidwalks
Drove to Cambridge and Somerville. Karen for her Soup Group meeting and me to meet Mike Beach at Artisan’s Asylum, the makerspace.
The piles of snow are impressive. Drove down Kinnaird St. to see what the old haunts looked like.
Went for lunch with Esther Hanig at the Druid in Inman Sq. She has a new job as the Director of the Union Sq. Main Streets project. Then I drove Karen to Ellen Feldman’s house. I went on to Artisan’s Asylum in Somerville to meet with Michael Beach. Aside: Michael told me that Peter Flowers is in hospital with pneumonia and stroke. Currently intubated and being treated for pneumonia primarily.

Learned the importance of social factors. Involvement and presence of renters drives much of the activity. Many of the courses are taught by renters. Lots of interaction and mentoring by renters. Saw this in action with Michael and his projects. Met Derek Bradbury, President.
There is a corporate makerspace in the next building, Greentown Labs
Picked up Karen at Moira Barrett’s house in Cambridge. Drove home. Arrived 11:30pm.

Last of Snow

Woke up to snow flurries. Noticed the clear outlines of the heating coil in the sidewalk of the house across the street. Where is some plain common sense about energy and $? Even rich people should have some sense of embarrassment over such behavior.

Waiting for mini-glacier to calve off our roof.
Brunch in Claverack with London-Gilstrap mob. Nyla received instruction from Karen on the use of her Christmas sewing machine. Cousin Jackson supervised.
Noah and I discussed iPod Touches, iPhones and various other technology items. He showed me a shoot ’em up game on his iPod Touch.
Then home to cook for tomorrow’s lunch. Karen made a storm in the kitchen making carrot mushroom loaf.

Made leg riser blocks for the card table to bring it flush with the dining room table.
