My first day in the Boston Office has been filled with meetings and big city bustle. Leaving the Williams office is difficult, but this is the best way for me to really show my support for my VISTA co-leader, Carly. We swore in three new VISTAs at the downtown office of the National Corporation for Community Service this morning, which was quite official. Nothing makes me love my job more than swearing my allegiance to the constitution and vowing to defend it from foreign and domestic enemies. It makes the newbies a little nervous, though- CIA agents make the same vow.

 Stewart, the new coordinator of Community Engagement in my office, and I, just moved into an office upstairs together. It's twice as large as my old office, and I'll have it to my lonesome for mornings. In the afternoon, Stewart and I will be sharing, which I'm actually quite excited about.
I'll be in Boston for three days next week, and then flying to the Dulles International Airport Hotel for fun and games at VISTA Leader training next Monday. I'm trying to think of fun stuff to keep my co-leader and I occupied- MadLibs? Workshop Bingo? I'd love your suggestions.

Work is exhausting at the moment, but I'm looking forward to having dinner in my old haunt (Noho) with the Western Mass VISTAs tomorrow. I'll stay overnight in Holyoke and spend all of Thursday workshopping at Mount Holyoke with the new VISTAs, whom I have not seen since pre-service orientation in July.
The weather is absolutely pristine here. I planned to drive to work this morning, so I could drive home for a quick dinner and then drive back for an evening meeting, but it was too beautiful out. Instead of going home, I gathered victuals from Ephporium and reminded the grocer that he looked like Harold from Harold and Maude. I feel like one of the old ladies who was in Rick's Boston congregation- every Sunday, she'd say the same thing to him: "God is good and god is fair, to some he gave brains, to others, hair." I just go around telling people they look like movie characters who fancy women sixty years their senior and like to fake their own death.

Sorry for not posting in a month! I promise, all is well and good, and we've now moved into 15 Hall St. Having a potluck with friends last night confirmed my growing sense of the new place- that it's beautiful, and we're lucky to have it. I still haven't feng shui-ed yet, which is my weekend plan. Just me, Janet, and a bunch of decorating magazines and catalogues.
