En route from the State House, where the eventual 8 hour long debate resulted in Gov Patrick's power to appoint an interim Senator, I spied Mary Jane Rupert seated at her harp in the window of The West End Branch Library.

The Noise in the Library recital featured The Exquisite Sonic Disturbances of Karl Henning, clarinet, and Peter H Bloom, flutes.

Mi vida loca! From a political throw down at the State House to attending a recent Britney Spears concert at the Garden to the sweet melancholy of Henning's composition Studies in Impermanence Hear Henning's compostions

From the Govenor's office: BOSTON – Tuesday, August 11, 2009 – Governor Deval Patrick, joined by House Speaker Robert DeLeo and Senator Anthony Petruccelli, today celebrated the installation, now underway, of two large wind turbines on the grounds of the Massachusetts Water Resources Authority’s Deer Island wastewater treatment facility as a symbol of Massachusetts’ commitment to clean energy.

Long story short due to confusion on just how to get to Deer Island on Pual Revere Bus line I missed the Gov's press announcement however, I met Jay Groccia of OnSite Studios who graciously explained how the water purification process works and shared his rough cut time lapse of the project.

For a great staycation summer's eve treat yourself to a walk or a row on the Charles. Rent a boat, take a gondola ride or just kick back on on of the docks and watch the sunset.

For a real trip in the way back machine while there know that 5300 years ago Native American tribes from throughout the region would gather to fish and hunt along the fertile banks of this Boston icon.

Tip: There are a few fast and aggressive bike riders who will holler LEFT and expect you know what this means. As I am significantly right/ left challenged I play it safe and just step off the path until they pass. On the evening I was there one biker had a very near miss with a french speaking tourist.
