More info Metrowest Ice Cream Tweetup #mwtweetup

WHEN: Thursday July 16, 2009 7 PM
WHERE: Needham Junction Ice Cream Shop

View Larger Map

Lots of area Tweetups are in Boston. In bars. Here's one for the suburbanites and other folks for whom it can be challenging (Boston traffic!) and expensive ($20 just to park for two hours?).
I like bars, and enjoy a tipple now and then, but summer nights sometime call for ice cream too. Bring your kids. I'm bringing two of mine and @johnhaydon is bringing his too.
The Junction Ice Cream shop is in the Needham Junction train station. There is ample free parking, and if it goes long enough the bats that live in the brush along the tracks but on an impressive aerial display over the train tracks at dusk

Hope to see you Thursday.

Random bread weirdness

It looks like some whole wheat ended up in the oatmeal bread. Pointless I know but sort of unusual.

Blurry tadpole picture

One of my tadpoles is swimming on his back but is chowing on a lettuce leaf. Tough little buggers. I knew it was time to feed them because they were Biting one another.

An Outrageously Awesome Way to Kick Off Summer 09

 We went out for dinner with the whole family and some friends -- 4 adults, 5 kids -- an awesome way to kick off Summer 09. Our friends are members of the Weston CC and this evening we were their guests. It was a wonderful evening. We had a cocktail. We ate some lovely food. The kids had ice cream for dessert. We bowled on three lanes at the CC's lanes (Candle Pins, a Boston classic, and more challening than 10 pins). Let me reiterate: a totally awesome way to kick off summer 09.

Before gettting in the car we ran around a bit in the "golf field," as Child One called it. On the way home we grabbed some iced coffees and steamed milks with vanilla and took the country way home. We put down all four windows and opened the sun roof. We turned up James Taylor and drove through the lovely countryside near our house. The crickets were singing. The air was warm, gentle and enveloping. My family surrounded me.

Let me reiterate, an outrageously awesome way to kick off summer 09.
