The shipping lanes around the Bay of Fundy have shifted some nautical miles, to avoid the feeding areas of the endangered right whales. And this happened without government fiat or anything. Very cool. Maybe the right whales won't become extinct... More details in this Globe article.
All the summer movies at MIT's LSC are free (and air conditioned).
Also free is the Industrial Theatre's production of The Winter's Tale. There are performances in Taunton, at the Borderland State Park, and one in Harvard Yard (June 18, same night at ArtBeat). The schedule is here,, along with other info.
I tried the new Veggie Patch brand Buffalo Wings this weekend. They're yummy: rather spicy, with good texture, and parve (though not vegan due to egg white).
("No, dude, I don't eat any of that stuff from the ground any more; it's too freaky eating things that grew in dirt! I just wear my veggie patch.")
Yesterday I went to Wellesley College for a play reading. I hadn't realized it was Explo move-in day. It brought back a lot of memories, from the summers after junior and senior years in high school, pretty much all of them good: this was the first away camp I really enjoyed. And even with all the fenced-off areas around this summer (apparently Wellesley is building a whole ton of stuff), I suspect this year's campers will have a wonderful time, too.
I was early (the web site listing was an hour early, which was annoying), so not only did I get in a walk around Lake Waban, but I also got to poke around the building the play was in. There's an amphitheater just ouside, semicircles of stone benches, except for the five stone chairs in the middle of the front row. Somehow the way they were placed made me think of The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe... I was impressed with the planning that had the shrubberies not only forming a background, but the rows carefully set up to allow many entrances onto the stage.
