The Other Bay Area

The rain follows me to Boston. I arrive to an empty pre-midnight Logan airport and make my way to Cambridge, where i'm staying with A, an old friend who's here for law school.  We order chinese food and watch The Rock, arguably one of Sean Connery's finest post-bond roles...  

 ...waken to the breezy sunlight of new england in fall, which is pleasant but unsettling.  We take the metro/subway to Park Place and walk around Boston Commons. It's a sunny social saturday in Boston and families, couples, and tourists are out in force. 

We pass Copley place and have coffee on Newbury street. Then we go see The Social Network, which is an  effective portrait of technical, dark, and depressing.
