September 7<\/strong><\/p>\n

The first Sunday of September was notable for the Joshua Bell concert in Hyannis. I had purchased tickets because I wanted a reason to spend a weekend on the Cape. It did not turn out quite as I planned. The remnants of Hurricane Somebody came through that weekend and spoiled the weather, so we went only long enough for the concert and dinner. I was impressed with Bell’s playing. It didn’t sound anything like a dying cat (which is, unfortunately, how some violin playing sounds). My only complaint was that the concert was so short. Dinner was so-so. And the Cape? I didn’t see enough of it to say. I’ll have to go back again someday.<\/p>\n

Finally. My parents came to Rhode Island to meet Faithful Reader’s parents. It was a definite clash of cultures, but we all survived.<\/p>\n

Faithful Reader, soon to be a Handyman Extraordinaire, has decided to buy a truck. He found an inexpensive one on Craig’s List and we drove up to Saugus to take a look at it. On the way back, we spontaneously exited the highway in the middle of Boston. We took a trip down my memory lane by walking around the BU campus. We also explored a part of Boston neither of us was really familiar with—Chinatown. There we bought some interesting Asian pastries, including a moon cake, as well as some Vietnamese sandwiches and bubble tea. We had dinner at a Malaysian restaurant. My duck soup was surprisingly excellent. It was also difficult to eat, because there were jagged bones still attached to the meat!<\/p>\n

As it turned out, Faithful Reader didn’t buy the truck, but I’m glad we took the trip.<\/p>\n

So many things to do, so little energy with which to do it. Today was a day for small chores—laundry, dishes, etc.—and little else.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
