Red Sox game

May 19, 2007 by admin.

Thanks to Joe Lally, we got tickets for a Sox game. Unfortunately, it was rained out and then rescheduled for the following day. It was still raining, just not as hard, but they played anyway. Okay, well, the Sox didn’t do all that much playing, so they lost 0-14. Ouch!

Me, Charles and Kirk.

Photoblog - Blue Hills Classic Bike Race

May 6, 2007 by admin.

The Blue Hills Cycling Club and the Milton Rotary Club joined to put on the Blue Hills Classic Bike Race here in Milton this year.

In previous years, the race was held on a closed loop near Cunningham Park in East Milton, but this year it was moved down to the Blue Hills Reservation, where it was a little out-of-the-way. Registration was through Bikereg.com, and the field was larger than ever.

I would have liked to have participated, but I’m not in racing shape and I was sick. So I stood around and took photos and video, and chatted with the good folks from
Dave’s Bike Infirmary.

Photoblog - Boston / Head of the Charles Regatta

October 29, 2006 by admin.

All that I know about rowing is that these people get up at wee hours of the morning to go out on the water in the chilly fall weather. Always seemed crazy to me. But what do I know? I like to go fight rush hour traffic on two wheels.Anyway, there has always been something elegant and maybe a bit romantic about this sport. Ya gotta admire these people… So I enjoy this autumn spectacle from the shore on my two wheels.

I love the Charles River. I used to commute to work along its banks some years ago, and it is just great for enjoying the scenery while getting some exercise. I regret that I don’t get into the city often enough to enjoy it much these days.

On another note, I missed out on the record-setting jack-o-lantern festival put on by the Life Is Good folks. I guess I should read the newspaper in the morning, not the evening… Anyway, by the time I showed up the next day, all the gourds were sitting in dumpsters, waiting to be taken away to the compost heap.

Photoblog - 2004 Red Sox victory parade

October 4, 2006 by admin.

As yet another Red Sox season ends with a whimper, I thought I’d reminisce about an epic season (no, not ‘86!) and share my photos from the victory parade.
