There is more than Industrial Hygiene here!

I attended a seminar on Industrial Hygiene and then Hazardous Waste operations at Harvard School of Public Health. This took a couple of weeks. I did as much touristing as possible but I spent most of my time at the campus or in my hotel room in Brooklyne. This photo is from the top of the monument at Bunker Hill.

My wife's first cousin played for the Boston Bruins. His name is Gilles Gilbert and he was a Goalie. I went to Bruins game when I was there and the guys next to me bought me beer because of this. What a town!

    I'm not sorry about what the Sox did to the Angels this year. As a matter of fact, I hope it happens again. I think the Yanks are done & the Angels are going to be the Sox's new foes. The Curse is over.

    Boston has so much...but you need to dig through the layers to get into it. You could get lost in it..literally. Especially since the BIG DIG. :-)
