Boston

Columbus Day weekend meant going up to Tufts for Homecoming, which was a nice excuse to visit the great Northeast and great lady. Taking off a day on either end made the trip all the more enticing. It was a great time.

There was lots of eating, running, sleeping, and some drinking at times as well. As opposed to last year, we had a nice and sunny Homecoming, which made tailgating both fun and actually happen.

The parents came down as Johanna was checking out colleges, including Tufts, so I got to see them for a couple hours and get a bag of stuff for the new place (if I was going to carry a small rug on my back across Xinjiang, I certainly was going to have it in the room. That's just common sense).



Sunday, after some searching, was very successful apple picking. There's no better way to celebrate the fall.



If only the leaves had been a little further along. If only everywhere were like Maine...
