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.)

Forwards from our parents

Geoff and I both have Parents With Email.  This is often a good thing as it is easy to get in touch with one another.  We can email family photos and wedding related things back and forth.  Things that 10 years ago would have required a carefully timed phone call can now be handled over the internet.

Except for the forwards.  You know, those forwarded emails that you sometimes get?  Our anecdotal research suggests that you are 1000.00% more likely to receive them from your parents than from anyone else you know.  Or have ever met.  Or will ever meet.

I love being the fun uncle

Sometimes, it’s just what I need to make me feel good.   A few weeks ago Kelly and I hosted our nephews Will and Ben and niece Kate along with their mom, my sister Liz.   The kids all had a great time.  We ourselves had fun, too.  And then a couple of weeks after that we got a card from Liz that included a card from Kate.  Apparently she really liked her visit to the butterfly garden at the Museum of Science.

Ok, so I was supposed to sing in this concert.  I was going to rehearsals and learning the music and everything.

And then I got a job.

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.

A belated post-PAX report

Although I was fairly swamped with work this past weekend, I somehow managed to take the time to go see PAX East, the huge gaming convention and general geekfest organized by Mike Krahulik and Jerry Holkins of Penny Arcade fame.  Kelly’s brother Matt came up from Philadelphia and joined Patricio and I as we indulged ourselves in a geek’s paradise – specifically, a gaming geek’s paradise.  So go no further if you have a low tolerance for that sort of thing.

Live Long and Prosper

This was sent to me by the always fabulous Amanda.  It was tweeted by the one and only Nichelle Nichols and was taken in the Oval Office on 2/29/12.  Yes, I’m going to make you click through to see it, it’s that good.

Gratuituous Snoopy photos

Snoopy likes to spend lots of time demanding attention and trying to sit on one or the other of us when we’re on the computer.  Not exactly the best material for getting pictures.  But tonight he finally got comfortable with one of the, um, many dog toys we have around here and he got to work on it.  This happens to be a $0.69 special we got on sale sometime after Christmas.  Here are some of the photos of him sitting on the ottoman and enjoying himself.
