Two by sea

Went out on kayaks on the Charles this morning. Then back to the community boating docks where they were giving sailing lessons, and free hot dogs. I'd call that perfect.

Waze

Most apps are crap. Waze is becoming my favorite navigation app. Like apple and google maps it helps you get from a to b, and does a great job with traffic. Unlike either of those much of the data is sourced through the users of the app. If you and others are driving slow on a particular stretch it figures there is a traffic issue. You can also enter pot holes, broken down cars, and police locations. So as you are driving along you get all that data. Great voice directions. I enjoy a calming voice telling me I will be in traffic for 8 minutes. It's free, fun and helpful.

Spotlight: Franklin Cafe

Just around the corner is a unique gastro pub. Imagine a neighborhood saloon serving upscale cocktails, and comfort food. I had turkey meatloaf with herbed mash taters and out of control collard greens. Cindy had pork roast with black eyed peas and collards. The black eyed peas were perhaps the best thing we ate. Check out some of their recipes on you tube. Here is one on making gnocchi

Negroni

Let summer begin. An Italian pre dinner cocktail. Equal parts of Campari, sweet vermouth and English gin.

Wegmans at sunrise

Love being their first customer of the day. Easy parking and first choice of hot bagels.
