January 2013 - A cold start to the year

Early in January I attended a week long "commercial meeting" in Boston at the Sheraton.  One evening our group ate at the Smith & Wolensky's a short ways away.  Here I'm "horsing" around with a moose head in a very historic room (lots of historic sites in Boston).  The building had belonged to a military group, founded in the 1800's, and whose name I've since forgotten.
 Stretching prior to a large meal.  The fire felt nice that night.
With two of my work colleagues, Dan Nelson (Logan), and Margarita Hunter (Boston area, originally from Russia).  We're in the restaurant atop the Sheraton, overlooking Boston.
Looking from the Sheraton directly across the St. Charles River toward Cambridge.  It's January, so it looks pretty bleak.

 Looking a bit further up the St. Charles River.





 Early January had some snow.  But for several weeks we had bitter cold inversions.  Here's a shot of our Mountainer earlier this month.  We recently finally got some more snow (shoveled twice yesterday and this morning).  We expect more tonight.

Again, we actually have more snow than this now.  About double, in fact.  With more coming overnight.


Alicia got her Acura stuck while backing out of our driveway and a neighbor up the street, Colton Parker, stopped and used his pickup truck and a chain to pull her out.



The girls love sitting on Nana's or Papa's lap for us to read them stories.  Here, when we weren't around, Avril was filling in and reading a story to McKel.
