The lamb and the lion

I am sitting at my office desk glancing at my day planner. Early March has arrived and that wind is really blowing. How does the saying go? “March comes in like a lion and goes out like a lamb.” With a sigh, I put down my pen and daydream out of my office window, conjuring up one of those lamb-like days.

A sense of possibility

What to do with two 15-year-old girls on their winter break? Get thee to Harvard Yard! That’s what my friend Kristi and I decided, days before a week of sleepovers watching old Star Wars movies loomed ahead of us. Would we rather have the dishwasher running overtime or room service at a riverside Hyatt in Cambridge? Hmmm.

Still only sophomores in high school, our daughters are already thinking about college. Both good students, the idea of visiting Harvard came naturally to them. Why not start at the top?

As we entered Cambridge, en route to our hotel, I took the route through Harvard Square to give my fellow travelers their bearings and see a few sights.
