Been a busy several days. Took Daniel to Boston on Sunday. We went to two pretty quiet New Year's Eve parties around here. We spent the first two days of the year with friends in Glen Rock.
On the days we were home we did some snowshoeing from right out our door and some more beginning a few hundred yards down the road . Ah country life. I am getting used to my new MSR snowshoes, but I am having a hard time breaking in a new pair of heavy boots. Oh my aching toes.
Sunday, we went to the Berkshire Museum in Pittsfield to see exhibits of Native American art and orchids, and to watch an outstanding performance of Bizet's Carmen, recorded a few years ago at Convent Garden in London.
We then walked around Pittsfield, found a store selling British food, and yes some of it makes pretty good eating.
We met friends for dinner and then went back to the museum to see Chasing Ice, a film about taking time elapsed pictures of glaciers retreating, a very convincing sign of global warming.
I've been in touch with many students via email and facebook messages. Some are starting out on their careers, some doing great things as undergrads and grad students.
