Hot Day, Summer in the City

Took a loopy bike ride into Boston Saturday, following this route. Weather was 95/95 in downtown, cooler by the Charles. I hadn't been through Cambridge in twenty years. Approaching Harvard gave rise to unexpected feelings, put me back in a mindset of what the world and my place in it looked like in 1986/7. Also ventured to Belmont to the house of R and G who were probably in Tiverton. Finished with a sastisfying Hefeweizen at Long Warf, then a T-ride back down to Braintree.


Spent alot of time here during college, most of it scholastically unproductive!



Then on Sunday, joined BFAS for a visit to the Pawtucket RedSox (PawSox). Train to S. Attleboro and a quick ride to the stadium (hot!). Noticed every cloud that went by because it seemed to reduce the temp ten degrees. McCoy Stadium seets 10,000, and the Sox handled Charlotte 10-6. Standout performances from a hard-hitting shortstop (Dustin Pedroia) and DH Wily Mo Pena, probably returning soon to the majors after recuperating from injury.
