Greetings from northern MA
We had a long day. The Amtrak train arrived early, but a trip wouldn't be a trip without some snafu. The subway supplied it. There was a "disabled car" at the Davis (Tufts University) stop and that messed everything up for several stops. So we were 40 minutes late for my poor mother, who picked us up at Alewife, and I couldn't call her because my cell phone wouldn't work underground.
The chocolate truffle frogs were a big hit...I'll probably upload a photo when I get back to NY. After dinner I went for a walk in the dark. My hometown is actually scarier at night than Manhattan, because it's not so well-lit and all the houses are silent, and occasionally football hoodlums tear by in their cars. Anyway, I sensed some movement as I passed one house, and then I saw TWO BUNNIES on the lawn! They sat stock still, as if that might prevent me from seeing them. Then an evil-looking cat stalked them. It lay on its belly and switched its tail from side to side. I was hoping it wouldn't attack the bunnies. Then each bunny tore off in a different direction - one to the left, one to the right - and their white tails flashed in the night.

Enjoy the communion and your visit to MA. And isn't it nice to see all those people with Red Sox caps? I know you probably don't get to see many in NYC. :-)
Elsa - I actually see a surprising number of sox caps in nyc.
Jorge - it's a throwback to high school. A friend and I used to sing, "Potatoes in the mist, exchanging glances" to the tune of "Strangers in the night".
