Charlestown Chinatown while shooting the outside of this building in chinatown i noticed a number of small birds have made their homes in the large metal letters....
Downtown ross at his northeastern graduation... Getting our marriage license at Boston's City Hall. The same City Hall where this happened a year ago. In MA, the marriage license says "Party A" and "Party B" instead of "Husband" and "Wife". Nice.... so many changes to this area. the elevated rail is gone, sun is shining on causeway street for the first time in about 100 years, and i now go downstairs into the subway to get the green line instead of up a flight of rickety stairs. wish i had gotten some good pictures of the elevated platform before they removed it.... sad that the very bostonian jordan mash has been replaced with the generic macy's....

Public Garden & Boston Common even though it has only been about a week, i do find myself missing little things about boston. i am however, looking forward to 6 months worth of exploring texas.... my last walk through the public garden for a long time...
Red Sox related i wasn't able to get a good shot of it, but there were some guys in the crowd carrying a sign that said "world folke'n champions!" so unless i'm able to dig up some missing pics in my hard drive these are the last of my red sox pics from 2004. what am going to do with all my time now? another person is also having a hard time focusing his mind on non-red sox things.... and you can kind of see varitek on the other side of the boat... yes, thats manny's famous sign that read: "jeter is playing golf somewhere today. this is better!" we wondered about that sign a bit since its hard to picture manny at home in the ritz with markers and posterboard. but they said in the paper today it was a fan created sign, so i guess he was give it by someone in the crowd. apparently he really like it since we could still see him carrying it 20 min later when we were watching the rest of the parade inside on the tv. sadly big papi was on the opposite side of the boat and wasn't able to see him at all.... sorry to all the johnny fans who visit this site. but that last pic was the best one i got of him. i would have been much better if the jerk next to me hadn't bumped my elbow right when i was taking the picture.... (bonus: i just noticed the guy to the left is wearing a reading lacrosse sweatshirt. go rockets!)... at charley's on newbury st. a lucky place to be since that is where we also watch the red sox beat the yankees in game 7. this time we were at the upstairs bar which was much more mellow a crowd, but we were happy to find the last two free bar stools in all of boston.... brenda, val and i at the uconn homecoming val and melinda on my roof the night before the victory parade stan enjoys a victory cigar after the world series win some random guy leading cheers at the uconn homecoming... this one is for my sister who loves to whisper sweet nothings to johnny as he steps up to the plate. another great johnny sighting!... i have a ton of SF pictures to post...but for today here are some shots i took walking around fenway this morning. keep the faith!...
