Zelig

This was my day, on Friday, May 11th.

8:00 AM - 1:30 PM: Work from home as confident grant writer and strategic planner
1:30 PM - 5:00 PM: Tool around Boston; Watch Spiderman 3 in a theater crowded with teenagers who were CLEARLY skipping school
5:00 - 6:00 PM: Drink wine and eat Italian nibbles on Newbury Street, watching beautiful people
6:00-7:45 PM: Sit in Somerville City Hall listening to hippie liberals and cool young 'uns debrief their experience in the Somerville Conversations Project
7:45-9:00 PM: Sit in the student run cafe at Somerville High School with townies, at a reverse Keno-like Bingo game, hoping to win $10,000 (didn't - sigh).

I'm now in tony Hingham, getting ready to take a bike ride along the Atlantic coast.

How lovely to be able to bounce between Euro-trash, urban hip hoppers, zealous liberals, and parochial old-timers, making connections and observing amusedly the group dynamics around me.
