OED... in limericks

Yes, a group of people have set out to write the OEDILF (Oxford English Dictionary in Limerick Form).

And volunteers are happily accepted, too. That's not a prod for people I know with poetry and linguistic talents to write limericks. No, not at all.

Somehow, it's pleasing just knowing this exists.

Free concerts

The Boston Landmarks Orchestra has free concerts throughout the summer, mostly in metro-Boston, but also in Chatham and the Vineyard.

They have four programs, each played a number of times:

1. Beethoven's 9th
   
2. "Landmarks of Freedom," including some Copland and a piece about Mandela
   
3. classics from the movies
   
4. concert for children, a narrated version of The Midnight Ride of Paul Revere

I'm planning on going to a couple of them. Anyone want to join me?
