For Memorial Day Weekend we cleaned up our roofdeck. For obvious reasons, even after repotting all the plants, it didn’t take too long, so we had some time to enjoy it. Manhattan gets to hang out there with us because he obeys commands (oddly enough for a cat) and he loves lounging on the deck. He isn’t allowed past the iron fence, so he reaches his neck out to sniff past it or rest his chin on it. He is super good, even when birds hang out there just past the fence and bath in the puddles on the roof. Good cat!

Jeannette headed back west to her parents for quick weekend visit to assure herself that all was well on the western front. It was a great visit with getting to see family and a new puppy, catching up on some family business and also taking some time to hit the shooting range.
Boston / Sports — Comments Off on Round 2 L – Celtics v Heat (90-98) 09 May 11
After watching Wade break Rondo previously, we no longer held out much hope for our postseason, but we were prepared to go and be a part of a good Garden crowd one last time this season. Turns out, we almost stole one more game from the Heat we had no reason winning. But by the final minutes, the Celtics had the loss, and we knew we had probably seen our last game this year – and maybe for two years if the NBA and the Players Association can’t sort out their issues.
Also, Arroyo doesn’t understand Celtic ways. At halftime, during a playoff game, he was over chatting it up with his old teammates and shooting hoops on their side, warming up with them! Unbelievable. Ray Allen finally pulled him away – I only wish it was KG who corralled him. Unbelievable. Video of that below. I honestly couldn’t believe my eyes.
We have new seats next season (whenever that will be), but we really enjoyed Section 330, seats 9 and 10 – especially our neighbors! Go Celtics!
MIT is having a big party for its 150th anniversary year. As a part of the grand who-ha there was an awesome arts, science and technology festival – basically all sorts of art and technology installations all over campus. It was pretty darn incredible. The photos below are just a sampling – you really should check out the website. Many installations were interactive, responding to the amount of traffic driving across the Mass Ave bridge, or how many people were sitting on pods, or other motion or activity-based light and movement installations across the institute.
