The Big Mess

Leave a reply

So a big milestone is coming up for Boston’s Big Dig project. The new northbound section of the Central Artery Tunnel will be opening on Sunday. That means if you’re coming from the south of Boston on I-93, you can drive straight under the city and emerge onto the beautiful new Zakim bridge. Currently, you drive through a small tunnel in the south of Boston and then the rest of the drive through the city takes place on an ugly, green, rusting elevated highway.

The southbound side of the highway won’t be opening until some time next year.

Just for fun, he’re a look at one of the lovely interchanges in the current project… this is the interchange between I-90 (The Mass Pike) and I-93… spaghetti roads, galore!

A car on the moon??

Today’s picture is from our trip last summer to Florida. We visited the Kennedy Space Center, and Becky took this fabulous photo of me, next to a model of the lunar rover.

As Seinfeld said, “You fly all the way to the moon, get out a little car, and drive around in it. YOU’RE ON THE MOON!! Isn’t that FAR enough???”

For whatever reason, this morning I decided to export and upload some photos that were in my old gallery, but I never got around to putting back up in the gallery on my new site. So anyway, here are some old but new photo albums for you to peruse:

MRRA Festival Regatta (Corey raced in this with the Angry Fish)
Easter in Ohio 2002 (This was probably the last trip I would take without Becky)
Halibut Point (Becky, Jenn and I took a trip to Halibut Point in Rockport, Mass last spring)

On that note, if there are any photo galleries you remember being on my old gallery, and would like to see again on our site, please let me know! I will do my best to get them back up there. 🙂

Today’s picture

I’d like to try starting a semi-regular feature here on the blog. We have quite an archive of pictures… so every day or so, I will try to pick out one picture to ‘feature’. I will not actually post the picture in the blog, just a link to the picture as it appears in our gallery.

So without further ado, here is the first picture of the day.

This photo was taken by me on our honeymoon. It was taken in the Alhambra of Granada. I think it’s a particularly beautiful photo, and we actually have a printed copy of it hanging on the wall in our study. We would love to go back there, some day. 🙂
