Weekend in Worcester: services
Jul. 11th, 2005 12:23 pmIt was my dad's birthday weekend, so I was in Worcester for most of it. On Shabbat, I went to ( services at my childhood shul. )
Jul. 11th, 2005
Just noticed that there's a place in Roxbury to get surplus or used building supplies. It's cool to find more places reusing, though the hours aren't great for someone on a 9 to 5 schedule.
There's a new art installation at the Charlestown Navy Yard, the Secret Ark of Icon Park. There are going to be a number of free workshops by the artist, and a poetry reading, unfortunately for me all on Saturdays.
( Some Worcester highlights )
Confirmed: a young cousin of mine (another first cousin once removed, for kinship group geeks) has Stargardt's disease. I'm trying to think of something fun to send her (a game or puzzle (hopefully something interesting enough to do more than once, though) or something) that would be easy to ship and not relying much on visual cues. Any suggestions?
Best game rename: Peace-Keeping Mission, aka War
Found in Worcester: matching red sports cars, MA plates GRNPA and GRNMA
Possible purchase: 32 ounces of Madagascar vanilla. The King Arthur catalogue has it for under $40 (plus S&H), which is a pretty good price. Not that I need that much vanilla (would anyone want to go in on it?), but it's still tempting. Plus a lot of other things in their catalog, of course, but for some reason, that one sticks out.
