17 of 22

One of my good friends here in Boston posted a while ago letting readers experience a day in her life through a series of images. I feel inspired. I'll let you see my yesterday--17 pictures from May 22nd.


7:43am: After getting up and out the door, Jen and I got on the T (Boston's subway). Jen's spending these next couple weeks at Massachusetts General Hospital (MGH) as a nursing liaison for Partner's Hospice, so we get to spend a bit more time together in the morning.

8:17am: Jen gets off at Charles/MGH, but I get to spend a bit more time on the train.

8:20am: Almost every day I take a picture of Boston's Back Bay while crossing the Charles River.

8:45am: At Davis station I listened to a trumpet player for a while. To see him in action click here (coming soon).

9:15: On my walk from Davis to Tufts I pass by Power House Square. There's a great historical park (see slideshow) where I spent an hour relaxing and taking pictures.

9:50am: Saint Clement's church is also on my walk. I usually take a few minutes to read and pray before I start my day.

10:22am: Finally made it to school.

10:48am: In my group's Non-Linear Optics Research lab I then spent several hours trying to make my unruly Labview code cooperate (trying to add a 3rd dimension of control to the XYZ stage seen in the center of the photo--sounds exciting, doesn't it?).

1:13pm: I spent several hours in the computer lab (being very productive . . . . if only it were true . . .)

6:36pm: Chris wanted to hang out and go driving, so he picked me up at Tufts.

7:38pm: We drove down to UMASS Boston where we found Stone Hinge.

7:44pm: We saw Malibu was around (who knew?), so we took a quick detour before Chris dropped me off at Davis station.

8:03pm: At Davis Station--train going the wrong way (which was fortunate since I still needed to get to the platform).

8:04pm: Back on the empty T.

8:16pm: Across the Charles again.

8:53pm: Jen kindly came to pick me at Quincy Adams station.

9:26pm: Two of my favorite things: my pretty wife and taco salad. (Don't worry, the first trumps the second any day.)

9:42pm: Having fun with Dustie. She got a couple new toys yesterday--a laser pointer and a toy mouse.
10:47pm: We tried to make it through Syriana for the second night. We made progress before we fell asleep. Perhaps we can actually finish it tonight.

So what was your day like?
