Boston 2: Marshfield

Seagulls harbinge good tidings overhead:


I arrived in Marshfield with L in tow at midnight, to find the moon full and the tide high. Videlicet:


Some highlights:

* an autumnal gathering at Mr. O's, with Jackie Paper, erstwhile frolicker in the mists of autumn, in attendance. Here I saw Josh for the first time since the Netherlands. Good times.
* several meals with my family, including a brunch featuring my dear sister's now-famous french toast.
* a lovely dinnerparty at Vlindinhauers, where the food was magnificent as usual. Courtesy of Vlindinhauer's wife M, and assisted by the Lady L.
* a viewing of The Now Today Society: The End, a film featuring several persons mention in this very blog and edited together by Josh.
* sundry visits to Dunkin' Donuts, which was more fun than you probably think.
* much chillaxing by the grand Atlantic.
* Private music time with Mr. O.
* the latest installment of the now-traditional trip to Borders with my wonderniece.
* daily pilgrimages to Arthur & Pats, one of my favorite restaurants on the south shore. The bananabread french toast was a big hit.
* s'mores (or, more accurately, a single s'more) made over the fireplace.
* several genuinely creepy readings from The Book of King, aka, The Shining.
* an invigorating and ultimately dangerous walk down the jetty.
* lots of sleeping-in, enjoying each other's company, talking about anything and everything, and temporarily forgetting about our jobs.
* The house itself is beautiful and the view is unbeatable...

Here's a shoreward view from the jetty as dusk begins to settle:

And L took this photo out the starboard window on our return flight to Bedlam...
