The tree outside of my office.

Gorgeous day

The view of Bay State Road (in the foreground), the Charles River and Cambridge from a 5th floor conference room.

BU recently renovated an old building and turned it in to a brand new gorgeous Admissions Reception Center, overlooking Storrow Drive and the Charles River. They hosted an open house this afternoon so that staff from all over campus could see the new space. We noshed on treats and got a tour of the amazing space, and the lovely views.

 

The view of Comm Ave from my building. Check out the size of those snow flakes!!

The Castle at Boston University. Not a bad view from my morning meeting.

On the 50th anniversary of Martin Luther King’s “I Have a Dream” speech, I had the honor of hearing the entire speech read by aloud by the strong voices of the interfaith staff of Boston University’s Marsh Chapel (the spiritual core of the campus). It was an incredibly busy day during an incredibly busy week, but I was able to dash out of my office at noon after a long meeting, walk two blocks in no time flat, and meet my sweetie at Marsh Plaza to hear those incredibly powerful words. In the midday heat, we stood in the shadow of the gorgeous MLK memorial sculpture. We are incredibly proud to be Dr. King’s fellow alumni.

Setting up for Commencement at Agganis Arena.

Not only are there (finally!) leaves on the tress, but they’re purple! I took these photos on my lunch break – they’re all within a block of my office. This is the BU Admissions Office.

I love my job. My assistant and I both got a half-dozen yellow roses from a colleague in thanks for a project that she and I (mostly her) have been working on recently.

I saw this when I got off the bus a stop early to grab my morning coffee from Feretti’s. Get it? The light is green, and the Citgo sign just says ‘GO’

 

Just trying to run a simple after-work errand and I got caught in typical Fenway Park foot traffic. This is what I get for working in Kenmore Square.

Not a bad spot to unwind with Brian after work. This is the view of the Mass Ave Bridge from a park bench right along the Charles River at the park behind my office. Those tiny white triangles are sailboats, and there were crew teams out, and even a few ducks

this sounded perfect

That big giant hunk of brick is my building. This is where I wait, patiently, for my bus. At least I got to watch the beginnings of a decent sunset.

This is what I see when I exit my office and turn left. Not bad. Beautiful weather today … warm and breezy. Spring is coming
