I need a distraction

Some things are just too terrible to process quickly, and I am still processing the horrific events of Friday.  So in honor of escapism, and also just because, I bring you the beautiful architecture of King’s Chapel here in Boston, decorated for Christmas just this weekend.  I work there as the primary verger* so I am a little biased, but I do think it is one of the most beautiful old churches around.

Sometimes, it’s nice to be reminded that there is still some beauty to find in this world.  Please enjoy.

The first Civil War walking tour seemed to go well…

and the second one is coming up this weekend.  There are already a bunch of people signed up for it.  I am excited.  Needless to say I have had the Civil War era on the brain for a while, but especially lately.

My life, explained in photos

Lately things have been a little crazy around here.  I have been running at full tilt to get a lot of work done for a lot of different places, getting less sleep than I should, while generally getting very frustrated with the world.  And recovering from pneumonia.  As there have been a plethora of oddly appropriate animal macros floating around on the web (most from ICHC), I’m going to use them to help explain my story.

With apologies to some of you for whom this is true

I am not a Morning Person.  I never have been and I never will be.  I have sometimes managed to pretend to be one for some of the jobs that I’ve held, but it’s never lasted very long.  The reality is, I hate Morning People.

Upcoming Boston Music Events

As my New Job has finally been able to update the website, I’ve now been able to update my resume.  That also means that I can do things like advertise cool opera related things here like discounted tickets.  As I’ve also picked up some part time work at the Harvard Book Store working their events, I figured I should point out some upcoming events that might be interesting to the music geeks who read this blog.

Please note, as it says at the very bottom of the page, this is our blog and I am posting this as a service to my readers and friends, not because I’ve been asked to by my employer(s) or because it benefits me in any way.  (Other than giving me something nifty to write about.)

In lieu of content…

I bring you pictures.

No, not pictures of me or Geoff or the kids.  Pictures from the intertubes.  Pictures of animals that look like ours.  Why?  Because I’m tired and I have work to do and I just finished day three of New Job and my brain is full.  That’s why.

So enjoy, or something.

Making some progress for once

This past Thursday was the first day in a VERY long time that both Kelly and I were working.  And that, in my mind, is progress.  I now have two part-time jobs at historic sites, and even if I find full-time work again, I think I am going to try to keep these jobs.  I like them a lot so far.  And what’s more, with all the walking I have to do now I am getting a lot more exercise, and it feels good.
