Thanks for the ludicrously kind words....

As to NPR and riding the T - All I can figure is that it's a really snotty
comment on non-tweedie people....

Which reminds me - Totally off photo topic but it tells you a lot about
Cambridge in general, and the Harvard Square world in particular, and it
really cracked me up...

So right where you come out of the T in Harvard Square is this large, round
advertising kiosk on which advertisers place posters. Recently it was
completely covered with a white background, and studio photo image of a
timber wolf, with an Adidas sneaker hanging from it's mouth, looking down on
a little lamb, who was looking up at the wolf and the sneaker. No copy at
all.

Well, after a few days, a balloon appeared above the wolf's head reading,
"I'm a gonna eat you," and the same wag had drawn little fangs on the lamb,
and a balloon reading "I'm a eat you."

Within another couple days someone had crossed out the word "eat" in the
wolf's balloon, and written in "deconstruct" - as in "I'm a gonna
deconstruct you," and the lamb was now saying "I'm a write a thesis about
you."

Next, the lamb's balloon was modified to read, "I'm a do an interpretive
dance on you."

Only in Harvard Square. :-)
