Saturday

Think we should get into this?

Renee and I explored Harvard Square a bit before meeting Jonathan for lunch, checking out a few areas we hadn’t noticed before. Found a Patagonia store. I love their clothes and their corporate philosophy, but, wow, everything is so expensive!

We headed into Boston after lunch for the Bruins game. The trip was interesting—we learned at the last minute that the red line was down for the weekend. They had a free bus shuttle running to take people to one of the main stops in Boston, which was great, but the traffic and number of people made it a bit of an adventure. We left quite early, but arrived right as the game was getting underway.

Bruins won 3-1.

Who let these knuckleheads into the game?

It’s funny, the Hanson brothers are like Mickey Mouse for middle-aged hockey fans. Every guy sitting around us started cheering once we realized the Hansons were surveying our section like they were looking for the fan who threw the car keys (or was it a tire chain or monkey wrench?) at Jeff.

As a serious Slap Shot fan, I had one question, though.

Why was Ogie Ogilthorpe helping them?

I was trying to capture the spirit of the thing, but the lighting was seriously horrible for our post-game selfie. I’ll take it, though.

He really is. And the Celtics won again tonight, putting the Nets down 3-0 in the series.
