Rock Chalk Final Four- Mar 25, 2012


Since I didn't know any Jayhawks in Boston, I went to my first alumni watch parties yet to watch the Jayhawks battle in the first 2 rounds of the tournament to get to the Final Four.  It was so fun to watch with my fellow dedicated fans...especially since we defied all preseason expectations and made it to Nola!

Boston Symphony- Mar 25, 2012

The building randomly had free tickets to the Boston Symphony Chamber Players, so Lisa and I took advantage and walked the 2 minutes to the beautiful Jordan Hall at the New England Conservatory and were treated to a beautiful set of Russian and Czech music.  The soprano was amazing and it was a great way to spend a Sunday afternoon.

A Walk Around Backbay- Mar 24, 2012











It's been an early spring in Boston and so the Oregon crew-- Dave, Gina, Mike, and Lisa-- had lunch at my place and then took a walk around the Hood.  First we window shopped on Newbury Street, then took a turn around Boston's Public Garden, and then along the Charles River which has been my running spot this month.  It was a gorgeous day, though 20 degrees colder than the day before.  Good times and good people.

Boston- Mar 1-31, 2012



My month in Boston was made much easier by the amazing place I stayed.  Sheila's sister's friend Adam was gracious enough to let me stay at his place for the month and it was fantastic.   Definitely couldn't afford the place on my own.  A 25 minute peaceful walk to work at Children's Hospital Boston in the CICU, a gorgeous view out of the panoramic view from the apartment in the heart of Boston's Backbay.  Who could ask for more.
