Louis and the Ladies
Another glorious day for the Head of the Charles Rowing Regatta.
This year I was able to cheer on Louis Gounden Rock, son of my colleague Alyson. Louis coxed for Yarmouth's 45-55yr old Women's Four. The crew passed 3 or 4 boats so a good result all round. The ladies report that Louis did a stellar job.
When Cambridge is the Center of the Universe
Went to two talks on Friday - the first featured Dan Ariely who has just produced a film called Dishonesty. Dan is a world renowned behavioral expert who has published extensively. His work includes Predictably Irrational
I then went to see Sherry Turkle talk about her new book Reclaiming Conversation. Sherry is an MIT professor and has spent 30 years studying the psychology of people’s relationships with technology.

On Walden Pond - Goin' Wild Massachusett's style
Once upon a time, Henry David Thoreau wanted to escape into nature but....... instead of venturing into the wilds of the Congo to truly test his mettle...... he came to Walden Pond...a mere 30 minute walk from his mummy and daddy....ehem........(and about 10 miles away from Boston) ..oh well, he does make livin' large in the wild sound grand.
In the spirit
of Thoreau I present Walden Pond - the artsy version.
