............2nite, Snap! ..............

almost caught up, that is....

i nearly forgot!

Skye went on a hike....well, an urban-ish hike. We visited the lovely Arbold Arboretum last month for a nice day hike, taking in the views & plant life...wary of the posted coyote warnings...

ok, now that I've caught up....

The hopes to squeeze whatever of the summer is left is upon us! Hopefully a few day-trips now that gas has dropped 40-50 cents (!), some good shows, some wild dj nights, some saints' fests...we can only try...We're planning also to have a Y'Art Sale in September: artwork, beer & yardsale...TBD...stoodio53-style!!!

hell, no.....

what a month! Way too busy at work. Thunderstorms nearly every morning, afternoon & night...at least I've timed my bike commute in between them! Head has been in a spin from work....there's hope to salvage the summer, right?

a rainy month...storms...floods...hope?

reggay hit de' town......

reggae rocksteady & ska:

friday 8-8-08....SNAP! -@- the Independent ....was a dedicated night, straying from the more soul-oriented to one that was exclusively Jamaican. Classic ska, rocksteady & early reggae 45s filled the air with sweet grooves & moves that the crowd took in, from the nodding head of the solitary retiree to dancing out on the floor....

...times a'changin'.....

one of the many complaints about Boston is it' lack of outside seating at pubs around town...due likely to retained Puritan notions of public sins, numerous laws have prevented the public consumption of the truly spritual...until now....many places are starting to get the opportunity to have said seating. Central Square's Tavern, Central Kitchen & the Middle East have all added outdoor seating, as other locales do the same. My two favorite additions are Charlie's Kitchen in Harvard Square and Deep Ellum in Allston. Rumor has it that others are to do the same, including a roof-deck at Bukowski's !

...al least it will pull some of the crowds from my dear Shay's !!!
