Boston in the fall.
I jumped up in surprise at the sensation of wet and cold during the mundane act of taking my seat on the T. Water on the seat was the culprit. So I begin my second day of my conference. The weather is humid, but not hot. Yesterday evening I saw the harvest moon.
I’m staying with my second cousin Jenn. So far I’ve had some wonderful moments of visiting:
-Playing with Sarafina outside making up stories about princesses.
-Collecting acorns in a Tupperware container and pretending it was full of strawberries instead.Sarafina kept talking about having strawberries that her brother Jack was expecting real ones for desert.
-Jack, when he opened the lacquer, articulated robot I brought him, exclaimed, “Why did you bring me something I like so much?”
-Eating hot chocolate babka with chai tea while watching Gray’s Anatomy with Jenn.
-Having Clyde slide his head onto my lap after a long day at a conference. Clyde is Jessica’s black lab with silky ears and a mellow personality.
