I couldn't find that quote in the article. So, I'm unsure where it's quoted from.

There's a good quote: "She added: 'I think you’d all rather listen to our concerns than attend our funerals.' "

Time for a die-in in the faculty parking lot at the end of the school day.

That actually included some arrests for threatening behavior involving clowns because everyone's a copycat now-a-days.

Apparently, we're in the post-Snopes era. :)

I miss the pre-snopes days when we didn't flash high beams at someone with lights off at night because they were probably in a gang and would kill people who did that. Pretty hard to have an urban legend anymore.

I enjoyed not needing excuses the last few holdiays...and I'm aware I'm in the minority at wanting to spend them alone in peace and quiet, so I won't root for more Covid.

I have plenty of excuses I can...oh, I gotta go. Just got a text. Work needs me to come in on a Sunday because we've been hacked. This is gonna take all day. Damn.

The Mass General Hospital garage has a great view from the top floor for sketching. Lots of buildings, including the State House, in the view (also you can see the Charles River). So, if your skill is still very boxy, it's a nice view. Also, lots of light changes during the day if you want to practice shading.

I prefer the garage on the left as you enter North Grove St (Fruit St garage).
