Joe just came into the bedroom where I was sitting in front of my laptop. He said “What’s wrong?” Nuthin’. Just watched Stevie Wonder play at Obama’s Presidential Center opening. I just love the Obama family. And Stevie killed it! I love him so much. I ugly cried. Then Joe moved some furniture around in the bedroom so that my desk is in front of the window. It was one of the projects on the list. We live at the top of a big hill now, and out th…
Well you guys, unpacking is going sloooowly. And weirdly. For example, I haven't unpacked my mouse pad, of all things. I thought I packed it in my laptop bag where it would be right handy, but it wasn't in there when we got here and I set up my desk. Weird. I can't find it. However, I did find my high school/college journal. Right, like that was useful. BUT! As it happens, the journal makes an excellent mouse pad. It's the fabric …
I know it's been about three weeks since I've written, but I had a good reason. Guys, we moved! The apartment hunt is over! We ended up in Brighton , the town adjacent to Allston , the other of the juxtaposed neighborhoods of Boston. After 24 years, we are no longer proud longtime denizens of 02134, but proud new denizens of 02135. The two towns are always paired when talked about, as in "Allston-Brighton," so we didn't go fa…
Fifteen years we've lived here. And loved it here. But alas, now, sometime in the next year, we have to go. Nothing bad, it's just that H&T are getting ready to sell the hose. Joe has already started to make plans for a big purge. We have dead electronics taking up space, and we both have collected way too many clothes. Things like that. We have time, we can sort thru and call some charities and junk removal services.
But where to? I…
To bring you up to date, we have to move this year. We have most probably been priced out of Allston, but I look at listings sometimes. What I'm finding is astonishing. The housing prices have skyrocketed in the 15 years we've been living here. This is Allston we're talking about. People used to make fun of Allston. But we love it. I wrote about the neighborhood I've called home for two decades in 2016: Allston is a thickly settle…
Would you look at this place? It's like a prison. Not one window. Is it even legal? The other photos shoe even more windowless horror. Ugh. Next!
