Not feeling great today, but I do have the energy to say thanks so much to my parents for their fines selves and for their generosity in the restaurant department (as always – yay!) and to share some pictures I just posted on 
.

Focus on the Family
Mom and Dad are visiting this weekend. We went inside many of the buildings I’ve always passed in Boston. It was a fun morning.
Memphis Bloggers (and Peterson) will enjoy this picture. This guy saw me taking a picture of an anti-Focus on the Family protest outside a church by Park Street. He thought I was a gawker and took a picture of me taking a picture. I think he thought he was making me feel stared at the way he was feeling stared at… if that makes sense. But he didn’t hang around long enough to ask why I was taking pictures. I ended up talking to this one woman for about 5 minutes before realizing that she was actually an ex-gay, but one that felt proud about that fact. Very weird.
Is it wrong that after these guys made out to piss off the Focus on the Family people, I asked them to make out again just so I could take this picture? They responded to the question in the spirit of my asking it – by laughing and making out again, because HEY. They’re making out. And that’s always a fun time.
Tumbleweed City
Where’d everyone go? I think my feeds might be messed up or something. Anyhoo…
Aaron and I are back from a day with my parents. We lucked out and found a parking space in the North End. After a lovely lunch, we wandered around, caught up with a bit of the Freedom Trail, and then got ourselves caught in a helluva traffic jam on Route 9. Tonight we went to Rani in Brookline – FABULOUS South Indian food. They had Bhel Poori, which (thanks to Nanu) is one of my faves. After dinner, we hit Peet’s, Brookline Booksmith, and then Trader Joe’s to get some cookies made by a friend my parents met on their China tour.
If I get the energy, I’m going to review some of these places on Yelp:
