I would love to hear folks thoughts on this. Especially if you work for a college or university.


Leiter Reports: A Philosophy Blog: Stanley from Yale to Toronto

The canaries are leaving the coal mine.


College rating so far this trip gleaned from Beatrix’s comments…

  • Brandeis: A bit dated and not the right vibe.
  • Tufts: Would be a contender but Mom is alum and B does not want to follow footsteps.
  • Connecticut College: Surprisingly near perfect. A new top contender.

Next: Bard and Amherst.


Also, a random observation…

The tote bag of choice on New England college campuses is the full size Trader Joe’s tote bag. White with blue trim. Even at Harvard.


These two observations are incredibly important for understanding the Newspeak of the current regime.


Currently…


The only day we really have to knock around Boston without commitment is going to be spent checking out author’s homes (Alcott, Emerson, Thoreau) and literary filming locations (Little Women, Good Will Hunting) because we are nerds.


Very proud of Beatrix who, despite not much time behind the wheel because of her busy schedule, did a wonderful job driving herself from our house to Circus this evening. About 5 miles with major roads, stop lights and signs, etc.


Reminder for my Boston area friends: Monday the 24th we’ll be hanging out at Grendel’s in Cambridge and we’re hoping Boston area friends will stop by to say “hi” for a bit. This is the best plan we’ve come up with for seeing everyone and if you’re seeing this we’d love to see/meet you.


I visited the new cat cafe that opened near us tonight.
