The Green Monstah!

I went to a Boston Red Sox game for $5! Sat right behind home base, ate a slice of pizza, some cracker jacks and did the wave! Photos of my ticket stub to come to prove that yes, I did indeed walk up to the ticket box at the 6th inning, say "Hey, do you have any tickets for sale?" and was handed over two nice tickets for $5 bucks each (normally valued at $45, at least!). Thank you no show fans!

And what a show! The stadium is tiny, intimate and a really great Boston experience. I've never seen so many baseball fans in one place at one time...but that might just be because I've only been to one Astros game before, where you're lucky to fill up half the stadium. Go Red Sox...or what ever team you would like to place at the end of that sentence. I should say, Go live sports games!

MIT & Harvard Campus Tours

I recently acquired a new co-worker who has treked across the seas to work a few desks over from my own. Jorge is his name and he is from Spain! Last weekend, he proposed going to tour the campuses of MIT and Harvard to take a gander at the world reknowned architecture of both schools. So, we did. And these are just a few photos of the buildings we saw... Above is Matisse's Geraniums, just because it crossed our path on the tour and caught my eye in a lovely way.

MIT area first:

German Firm Behnisch Architect's Genzyme Center

Frank Gehry's Stata Center


Orange Berries! and Aalto's Baker Hall


Saarinen's MIT Auditorium and Chapel


Harvards Campus:

Corbusier's Carpenter Center and Machado & Silvetti's (my firm!) Harvard One Western
