No good excuse for the past weekend's radio silence, just found other stuff to do. Sadly, none of it was particularly more exciting than posting here, just the usual chores that dot a weekend with no planned events. Kind of nice, actually.

We did not go out to visit the USS John F. Kennedy, probably a smart move given that (on Saturday, at least) they capped the line at about 9:30 am. By that point it was roughly a mile long and four people across.

There was also some talk of going to New Bedford and taking in the various whaling and maritime sites before seeing if Wentworth could best nationally-ranked UMass-Dartmouth for the ECAC Northeast crown and a trip to the NCAAs. This plan died mostly of inertia - though Saturday would have been a nice day to mill around a waterfront - and the realization that it'd be odd to head down there while the New Bedfordian (New Bedfordite? New Bedfordvillian? New Bedfordianite?) we best know is in Florida (and his better half is likely out at Amherst watching their hockey team sweep two games from Maine).

(FWIW, Wentworth couldn't quite get it done, losing 4-3. However, former employer Babson College knocked off New England College to win the ECAC East crown and make the national tournament. Their reward is a game against Manhattanville, the second-ranked team in the country. Good luck!)

Anyway, quiet weekend. At least we got to enjoy the higher temps before we get back into the deep freeze this week.
