A Harpoon Sampling

Harpoon Brewery. The best free beer tasting in Boston and very conveniently located near the conference center. Even the little lady, marking the entrance to the bathrooms was joining in the fun.

Lemon ricotta stuffed french toast. It was goooood.

The Barking Trap

At the Barking Crab they "don't quote wait times", but will let you know that you are the 18th group of monkeys in line for a table. The tourism factor has increased significantly since we last dined here, no doubt due to the many favorable write ups in guide books . Themed T-shirts, shot glasses, and stickers are available for purchase while you wait, wait and wait for a table.
Steamed appetizers were perhaps the culinary highlight of the meal, but the most memorable moment came courtesy of Mark wrestling his lobster out of its shell. Priceless... And well worth the wait.

The Last Rent Cheque

.... next stop mortgage-town.

Lucky 13 Beer


Scaring away Fri-13th blues with a friendly beer tasting.
Some people left with six-packs. Mark went for the full carry-on size, hereafter known as the Mark-pack.

Kevin & Lisa

Kevin and Lisa agreed to feed the mosquitoes while I played with my camera. They may have been motivated by their need for a family portrait for Kevin's mum's birthday (rather than a desire to be a good officemate or a willingness to nourish the local insect population). Happy Birthday Gram Beyer!

Dog pillow dog

A westbound wagon delivered Mike, Suz, Maddy, Loudon, Marisol, Lady and Matisse to our front door. Its almost like the circus coming to town: animals that perform tricks, kids with frozen treats hanging off your arms, and endless entertainment. It was great seeing you guys!
