I am not a Baby Duck

…and I don’t have a rusty chain. It was seventy degrees (in the shade) today in Cambridge. I oiled up the chain of my fixed gear bike and hit the streets.

Im a big duck with a beard

My friend and I had Saturday brunch at the S & S (a taste of my brunch nemesis). Bravely, like a big duck, I ordered the eggs benedict, smothered in hollandaise sauce. Jess told me that back in the day we served black pepper smoked salmon on a bagel at our brunch (East Coast Grill) and I thought that sounded real good, especially cause she was sharing her lox with me at the time. The S & S hollandaise sauce turned out to be totally kosher.

I am the branch tangled in the power lines

In her car, stopped at a red light in Union Square, a beat up Rav 4 pulled alongside us. A German shepherd lunged out the window and barked at me loud and vicious. I screamed in panic. The driver, on his phone, chuckled at my reaction. I calmed down as soon as I realized the dog was not going to leap through the passenger side window to bite at my face and head. As my beating heart began to slow, another German shepherd suddenly appeared next to the first and began the barking all over again! This time I laughed. It was absurd.

  3. LadyC, you are a diva of the spring. THE diva of the spring. Everyone in Boston knows it, everyone in Cambridge sings it to a tune of blossoming flowers.

  4. I’ve seen that car and those dogs in Union Sq. before! I agree, super scary. And I think the owner really does drive around all day looking for people to scare with them. My husband and I stared calling them the hounds of hell.
