matt’s great american siesta trip is drawing to a close… only one more week left before I head to somwhere in eastern africa (still working on that part).

I’ve really enjoyed catching up with all of you in Vermont and Boston, and now NYC. I’m looking forward to being back this way in the late summer.

One way I’ve passed the time is by taking in sights that I haven’t had a chance to see. A highlight of my Boston visit was an afternoon spent at the Isabelle Stewart Gardner Museum, which is about as wacky and mind-blowing as a wealth socialite’s art collection can be. Recommended the next time you want to see a fine set of disparate art presented in a way that “fires the imagination”.

I hope to make it to the Rubin while I’m in the big apple, and maybe something called the Daily Show. One could get used to not having a job…
