On The Move…

Tonight Didi and I were brought by our Freshman Host family to a Chinese restaurant over in Waltham (a good twenty-minute drive from campus).  This is one Harvard legacy family – both husband and wife are graduates of the college (the husband also went to graduate school here), his father went to Harvard, her sister too.  Her brother-in-law is Dean of graduate students at the medical school, her nephew graduated last year and her niece is currently a junior here…  woah.

In the car, it was mentioned that his claim to fame was having invented the game of ultimate frisbee with a group of friends while in high school as an alternative to football.  Double woah.  Didi commented that they play Ultimate over in Bulgaria as well.

Like I must have mentioned a dozen times previously, over here if you exchange more than five superficial sentences with anyone you’re invariably fascinated, intimidated or, more often than not, both.

One more thing – over dinner it was mentioned that the New York Times did an extensive writeup on the food scene in Singapore.  So of course when I got back to my room (fairly overstuffed) I went to look it up.  Accurately tasty stuff!  Read a copy of the looong article here.

And speaking of articles, my first FM article was finally published.  Here’s the link.

It’s Head Of The Charles weekend – the big, highly-anticipated regatta – I’ll be helping out at the launch/recovery point on the river tomorrow after church.

Goodnight.
