I'm using the computers at Harvard's Houghton Library to make this post. We're camped out in the rare books collection, looking at 17th-century editions of Du Bosc and Scudery. No pens! No folders! No cameras! No food! Be quiet! We handle the old things lovingly, which, really, isn't a bad philosophy for books, life, sex, etc.....
Highlights from yesterday: a yellow curry with mango at Thai Basil on Newbury Street; chocolates and turn-down service at Jurys Boston; the crazy homeless guy talking to the Il Divo poster in Borders; singing "Happy Birthday" into my cellphone as I stood outside on Boylston Street and left a message for Hossy, who is a hossariffic "37" and just might get a souvenir Boston Baked Bean.
