I borrowed Adam and Tricia’s scanner, after failing to solve the scan line problem with mine, and as you can see, they are still visible, but less so. I’m not sure what I’m complaining about, because the scanned, monitored pics are infinitely clearer than the poorly exposed, faded originals. Ginger pressured me to post my […]
Acton Village Video (or as Travis would say, Herb’s) Friday night. View larger image “Haven’t a clue”
Back at Willow Books, this time listening to the regulars, Dan Weiner on the right, and I donÃt know the name of the bass player. I enjoy our Friday night routine, but Diane who taught me the importance of ritual, is threatening to rebel. Perhaps suggest a restaurant other than the Sushi House? WhatÃs next, […]
Yesterday, I took the BMW into Goodyear for five new tires, and an electrical check. They called back to say the alternator was indeed charging the battery, but we might want to consider a new starter motor (295.00 installed). I thought, all those fireworks, all those fiddling hours and the darn thing is still working. […]
Diane spent much of last night coordinating with the Burgins, and then buying MattÃs plane tickets to Nicaragua. She found a less expensive leg from Miami to Managua on Taca Airlines, and needed to strike that hot iron. Two thoughts: Diane shoulda been a travel agent, but I suppose you could agrue that she already […]

Diane sent this email to Edgelina after Dan translated it into Spanish I am the mother of Matthew Miller, who plans, with his friend Hilary Burgin, to come to your school this summer. (I have asked our friend Dan to translate for us, as we are not Spanish-speaking.) Hilary has needed time to clarify the […]
Adam arrived to help work on the carport roof, but because Matt had installed the new regulator, we decided to first finish stage sixty-two of the BMW project, and add that missing ground wire to the second, unconnected alternator terminal. After a trip to the hardware store for stout, ten gauge copper wire and fittings, […]
These photos were taken yesterday at La Provence in Concord. I might have been influenced by an interview I listened to on Friday on Fresh Air with Chuck Close, the guy known for painting extreme close-ups of faces. “
Matt and Hillary (from now on Hil), have been writing to Edgelina Lanuza at Escuela Horizonte and this is her first reply: Hello Hilary and Matt! That good that write to the school, you can attend the school in the time that you want it, alone they have to tell us the exact date that […]
Ginger and Brian in 1971, collecting their paychecks at McLean Hospital. Yesterday was DianeÃs 57th birthday, and we celebrated by having dinner at The Quarterdeck in Maynard with Matt and Flo. I attempted to order chocolate cake with a candle, and have a fine rendition of happy birthday sung by all, but Diane couldnÃt bear […]
Hillary and her parents shared a potlucky dinner with us last night, and we discussed in some detail, the proposed trip to Esteli Nicaragua. Matt and Hillary are planning to spend four weeks in Esteli, where they will learn Spanish in the morning, and engage in volunteer work in the afternoons. HereÃs the website
