    Love the intro, love the shirt, will have to finish the video Sunday as I’m heading off for Santa Fe for a couple of operas with my friend Robin. I just tried some Chilean rose at a wine tasting and was very impressed.
    QOTD: I love the Robert Parker (not the wine guy) Spenser series based in Boston. I personally have never been to Boston.

    Boston is not on the west coast. They are about as far as they
    can be away from me in California.

    Goin to the 500th at Crushpad, bought Gary’s book and will
    be there whether I like it or not.

    Really like Fenway Park and the scene around it with the bars and everything. Of course, I saw the Cardinals beat the Sox in extra innings, so that didn’t hurt the experience!

    QOTD: BOSTON! That’s where I spent two years of my life before the fall of 2007 when I moved out here to LA. SO, I liked the peeps (my well-missed Boston amigos), the proximity of the whole city, the college atmosphere, the roof decks atop the brownstone apartments on hot Summer nights, and jogging along the Charles River near the esplanade and the Public Garden… and riding my bike through Beacon Hill… and walking Hanover Street in the North End while breathing in the intoxicating aromas of fresh basil, garlic, and olive oil in the historic Italian neighborhood, the home of my relatives.

    I was in Boston last May, and one thing I really like about it is the way the town is such a mix of old and new. I walked from the North End through the Common to the Newberry Ave area several times. Really enjoyed it.
