Even in the summer, even in the spring
And tonight
derspatchel and I had science for the solstice. We missed the Viking sunstones and the free ice cream, but we got into the Collection of Historical Scientific Instruments, the Peabody Museum of Archaeology and Ethnology, and just enough of the Harvard Semitic Museum to know we have to go back. There were telescopes all over the new plaza outside the Science Center, gazing at the moon and the new summer stars. It was a warm blue night and we walked both ways. (Dinner first at M3, where I was attacked repeatedly by my shrimp and grits and an opportunistic fingerling potato from Rob's plate. The fried Oreos, however, suffered a decisive defeat at the hands of some raspberry-strawberry sauce.) I am looking forward to more of this season.

We saw you near the Grand Orrery, but you were surrounded by people. Next time!

It was lovely. We didn't even know there were free museums until I was browsing Facebook at ten of five. It was a good antidote to the afternoon's discovery that we'd missed a concert we had tickets to last week.

It was unexpected and very good. The last couple of days have been marked by this kind of spontaneity. It's worked.

(I imagine their bells as tiny celestial spheres, or something.)

Dear God, that's mind-blowing.
