Boston Update

Kate’s been settling into her new job well enough. She's having fun meeting coworkers and making big, important MBA decisions. She has also learned Rule No. 1 of meeting with their ad agency: No Starbucks Allowed. The reason? The agency also has Dunkin Donuts as a major client. Apparently some yahoos from, well, Yahoo came in for a meeting, Starbucks in hand, unaware of Rule No. 1. They were quickly ushered into a back room and out of sight of prying eyes.

Don’s classmates are all a good lot, though many of them are very young. We’d post the pictures to prove it, but there are laws against that. Ok, they’re not THAT young, but they’re a bit younger than we expected. Class registration was today and classes officially start tomorrow. Don has been meeting with potential thesis advisors, and has been making good progress. He'll be attending one research group's meeting tomorrow to see how they all work together.

We’ve also been looking at condos, a task which has enabled us to meet all manner of interesting characters, like Martin here:



Love the hair, Martin!

We're also happy to report that today we had an offer accepted on a condo in Somerville, which is next to Cambridge. It's about 2.5 miles to school for Don, and a 5 minute walk to the train for Kate, making for very manageable commutes. We're hoping to close on October 12.
