On The Road - Boston 2007 - Heading back

[goneroundthebend]

It's been a fun weekend in Boston. It was cool and snowing leaving the Harvard Square T stop with the streets full of people and noise. Unfortunately Anne has been battling a cold for a few days now and really couldn't get out but so much to enjoy holiday...cheer.

Friday night we got out to an Ethiopian place on Mass. Ave where the food was quite tasty. It had been a long time since I had eaten *that* way!

Saturday I got out to meet some friends of mine there, Cameron and Kateari, for a brunch at B.goods in Cambridge. I tried the southwestern veggie burger! phew...something was a little on the spicy side on that one.

Anne rousts later on enough for us to get out for dinner at a local Vietnamese place. I feel guilty about dragging her out at all when she needs to be finishing her recovery!!

The evening is finished of with a rather intense 2 1/2 hour game of Go. We get out the big board a little after 8pm and it's almost 11 by the time we look back up!

This is the board near the end. I played black and seemed to have the southeast and eastern territories fairly set but right after this I made 2 big mistakes...so even though there appears to be some major territory up for grabs I wasn't going to be able to recover...so I ended up resigning. siiigh...

It’s fun having an evenly-matched game partner. Does that mean that when she’s off of cold meds and sleep deprivation that Anne will kick your butt? :D

yup! ^_^ I was exhausted after that game anyway and she was ready for a rematch with 5 minutes. But then again it was getting close to midnight and she was hitting her stride. I was getting ready to crash! sigh

She was gracious and complimented me on my valiant attempt particularly considering it was among the first of my *full* board games.

Then I guess you'd better join your local Go club! ^_^
