Here’s a photo I took yesterday standing on a median in front of the Westin Hotel looking up at the Boston Public Library.

Of all the photos I took yesterday, this one stood out the most – mostly because it looks totally fake and touched up to me, but it’s not! View large on black.

So the second part to my very Boston blog – I am having dinner tomorrow night with a good friend who is in town only for a few days. He’s a former Boston resident (South End), so I’d love to bring him back to his old neighborhood for dinner ….. I obviously know of a bunch of places we could go, but I’d really like to hear your suggestions!

Get to it!

I took this last week in Copley Square. I fell in love and made it a wallpaper for me and now I feel like sharing!

My father and I were donating all the coins that we collected in out Jimmy Fund canisters in the local Coinstar earlier today. Coinstar throws back any non-American coins … so we had a lovely collection of Canadian coins and one 2000 Dong from Vietnam. And then what looked like a penny shot through the return coin slot. But it wasn’t a penny. I picked it up, my dad asked “What is it?” and I replied “Uhhh…not sure. But oh. It has a …..swastika on it.”

We got home and our research (google.com) revealed that it’s a “Nazi Germany 1939 1 Reichspfennig Bronze World War 2 (WWII) Coin”.

It’s probably worth hardly anything but for these two World War II history buffs, it was a really great find and made for some fun researching.

My blog post and Flickr photos covering the opening of the Apple Store on Boylston Street in Boston got picked up on Mac Daily News!

Wow. I’m thrilled.

Helllllo weekend.
