Red Sox and Maggie

CL and I went to the Red Sox game Wednesday night. Good game. They beat Tampa Bay 11-5. Wakefield got the win, and there were five Sox homeruns: Scutaro (2), Papi, Beltre, and Martinez.

Here's a panorama of the view from just a bit below our seats (click on it for a larger version),

and one looking back and down, from just a bit above our seats.

We moved down front for the last inning and a half.

Balfour (Ball Four) didn't live up to his name here; these are four strikes.

The final score on the Green Monster.

The crowd on Lansdowne St. post-game.

We stayed with Jeremy and Amanda after the game, and hung around long enough in the morning to play with Maggie for a while.

Then we left her with her Grandma Marion and came home.

Moo-Licious

Yesterday we stopped by Moo-Licious for a couple cones. The main reasons we did were the name and

the cow statue.

Sneakers

Outside the Springfield History Museum, we noticed a large sneaker. It's part of a collection of 18, named Art & Soles, that is spread around downtown Springfield. They went on display just before the Basketball Hall of Fame inductions last month. This one is #6 on the map below.

And this is #15.

If you click on the map and enlarge it and actually look at the locations, you'll see 19 listed, but one was censored, so I'm assuming that 18 remain. Or maybe only 17; one was damaged, and I don't know if it's been repaired.
We plan to check out the remaining ones in the near future.

Also at the Springfield Museums

After we left The Art of the Brick, we noticed this sculpture, which had just been installed on the lawn next to the parking lot.

Then we walked over to the Lyman & Merrie Wood Museum of Springfield History. The first big hall has a GB racing plane and another I never identified hanging from the ceiling.

Upstairs is a collection of Indian Motocycles.

This cigar store Indian was part of an exhibit of early downtown retail stores.

Also featured was the 1893 Duryea,
and several Springfield built Rolls-Royces.

The Art of the Brick

We finally visited this exhibit at the Springfield Museums on Wednesday; it's over on Sunday. This isn't your typical Leggo corporate advertising show. This is a collection of work by an artist who happens to work in Leggos.

This piece, whose name is The Future, looks like this head on,
but if you look at it from the side, this is what you see.

Red Sox (8/25) Update

Now that we're home again, I've had a little time to work in Lightroom and Photoshop. This is a panorama showing the view from our seats. Click on it to enlarge.

And these, we think, are Daniel Nava and Victor Martinez.

Bath Time

And a Full Afternoon, too

After another trip to BerryLine (it was packed - Harvard students are back in town), we walked back through campus.

And, later in the afternoon, Maggie and I played peek-a-boo.

A Busy Morning ...

We went to the playground by the Cambridge Library this morning. Have you ever noticed how many Roman numerals it takes to write 1888?

... followed by a messy lunch.

And another Cambridge flower.

Maggie's New Toy

A Summer Rerun

We went on a walk in Cambridge.

Maggie had frozen yogurt and blueberries at BerryLine

And we saw some flowers.
