Easter Without Eggs

My neighbor and I went to the MFA to see the Quilts and Color exhibit.  Fortunately, Easter-related activities kept the crowds elsewhere, so we could see the quilts easily.  I bought the catalogue for this exhibit.

Next, after a lovely meal at Cafe Jaffa, Rosemary and I strolled to the Marathon finish line to check stuff out.

On Patriots' Day I am back at work, since Harvard is not patriotic enough to give us the day off.  Chris has used rubber bands to make love beads.

Finally We Get a Nice Day!

Tipping Point

JB's boxes of CDs are dangerously unstable.

All Books Contain Mistakes..

..but some mistakes are better than others.  We were talking about this last week, so I decided to scan the title page of the Library of America volume 24  that misspelled "Melville."

The publisher offered to replace the volume, but Jon Lanham decided to keep it.

Policy Change

"Photography by students, faculty, staff and guests (such as visitors to parents’ weekends) using hand-held, self-contained cameras is permitted so long as it respects the privacy of library patrons, does not disrupt or interfere with the scholarly environment, the work of library users or staff or the safety of the collections and abides by copyright law. Personal photographers should not record any library patron without prior consent, and photography cannot be used for commercial purposes."

Since I have to open the Widener desk on Wednesdays, I took a bunch of shots before opening.
