Lexington Concert, Bunker Hill Weekend/USS Constitution, Meeting Rena

On Thursday, since I did not have my volunteer job, I participated in a Cambridge Common Voices lunch concert at Rakability in Lexington. Unlike many of our other concerts, this one was in an office building, and people watched it over their lunch break. Mia and I attended an alumni event at The Yard inContinue reading “Lexington Concert, Bunker Hill Weekend/USS Constitution, Meeting Rena”

Jimmy Fund Scooper Bowl, New York, Dragon Boat Festival

After my volunteer job on Thursday, we attended the Jimmy Fund Scooper Bowl in Government Center. It is an all-you-can-eat ice cream festival and a nice way to beat the heat. Neither Mia nor I had never been but it was supporting a cancer institute and we had both encountered family losses to cancer soContinue reading “Jimmy Fund Scooper Bowl, New York, Dragon Boat Festival”

Open Mic Night, Alumni BBQ

Last Saturday, Cambridge Common Voices was invited to perform with the Longfellow Symphony Orchestra. Unlike at Berklee College, where we lost a lot of time with no plan, we were the first act. Some singers watched the rest of the orchestra, but Dylan and I headed home after, even travelling together, On Tuesday night, CambridgeContinue reading “Open Mic Night, Alumni BBQ”

Semester Closeout

We had a fun end-of-semester closeout. The weather on Friday and Saturday was a bit of a downpour, so we didn’t do much, but the past two days have seen gorgeous weather. We had a BBQ on Thursday with current students, which was a blast. There were so many outdoor games — Connect 4, Jenga,Continue reading “Semester Closeout”

Patriots Day Weekend (Hint: A Hectic One)

This weekend was quite hectic because Mia was not feeling well, prompting Carolyn to fly to Boston. Eventually, they decided to stay at the hotel together instead of leaving Mia at the apartment with me. Every day, she was feeling a little better, then a little worse. A hectic period for sure. I attended anContinue reading “Patriots Day Weekend (Hint: A Hectic One)”

Cambridge Common Voices/Berklee Choir, Mom and Dad Visit

We’ve had a mini dry spell on the blog, and I will restart here. Mom and Dad came to visit, although Mom stayed a few extra days after Dad left. Mom arrived on Friday around lunchtime and Dad arrived late at night that same day. We met for lunch at the Little Crepe cafe andContinue reading “Cambridge Common Voices/Berklee Choir, Mom and Dad Visit”

Little Crepe Cafe, Brunch Club

We had an enjoyable weekend, but first I have some big news. As CorePower is closing its Harvard Square studio, I am transferring to Fresh Pond. The manager used to co-manage Harvard Square so she knows me. On Saturday after work, we met up with Connor Daly and were going to go bowling, but theContinue reading “Little Crepe Cafe, Brunch Club”

Puttshack, Winterfest

I just realized I never got to write about what happened last weekend. Mia is feeling much better than the week prior. On Friday, we started the evening by meeting Adam and Zach at Panera Bread and then went to Puttshack to meet Molly, Kyle, Carson, and Zach Jacobson. It was a lot of fun.Continue reading “Puttshack, Winterfest”
