Somervillian call/wounds of childhood

[flea]

I neglected to mention in my packing/airport obsession post, that we will be in Boston (broadly speaking) this coming week, and Sunday the 10th is probably our best day for a meet-up with localistas. (There remains much vagueness about the date of availability of Cape Cod, but it's definitely not Sunday.)

Veejane and I have had some tentative discussion concerning the following possibilities:
1. Boston Common/Public Garden picnic/hangout, possibly with Make Way For Ducklings in hand. (I know, we sort of did this 3 years ago, but Casper is old enough to actually read the book now, and I have not matured at all!)
2. Boston Harbor Islands trip (though might be very busy on the weekend, and requires a $10 boat ride, for those with financial issues).

We could also invite you all to descend on my mother's house in Lexington, or you know, do anything else of interest you can think of. Help us in our indecisiveness!

In other news, Casper is a champion knee-scraper of late, and the Dillo has entered the phase of the face-plant and assorted fat lips, scraped noses, and the like. I am mostly astonished by how very quickly small children heal. They are definitely possessed of more vigorous cells than their quickly aging mother.

Hmmmm...may have plans. Need to confirm, because I'd love to see you guys and meet the Dillo.

I am sorry for the late notice! We are disorganized and a little sociophobic.

I really wish I could meet up with you, but I think we're going to spend the whole weekend packing.

Packing can be fun! (Well, if you're an insane organizing freak like me...)

If you enjoy it that much, feel free to come here and take over. ;)

If you do do something, let me know--I'd love to come up and meet you guys.

Yay! r we could come by there - your burg is my Ancestral Home, you know. My mother haunts obscure graveyards there and so forth.

Heh--well, you'd be welcome, but as you know if it is your Ancestral Home there's a limited amount of entertainment value available.
