Uptown

I'm in Cambridge for three days, and life is good. Wow, I didn't realize how much I've missed this place! Apart from the kick I get out of collaborating face to face with David and Ines (and the nice side effect that work gets done), I just love to wander around and revisit all my favorite spots. Although the face of the Square is rapidly changing (what's with those antiseptic glass buildings replacing brownstones??), I feel like set back in time. Yup, same guy asking for change in front of CVS, same complex system to get your coffee at Peet's, and same good Weissbier at Grendel's. Last night it got *pretty* late there (and, I believe, the House of Blues at some point, Liz?), so today I'm taking it slow, hanging out at the Coop and enjoying every minute of it. It all just made me think...oh well.
