Lost Without Each Other




Today we walked up to Beacon street and then turned west until we reached the Arthur Fiedler pedestrian bridge carrying us up and over Storrow drive to the banks of the Charles river. MIT lay beyond. The river is still locked in ice but on the far side, the Cambridge side, I could see a merganser like some avian Waldo in a group of hundreds of gulls. We followed the river's edge to the footbridge at Cambridge street and the Longfellow bridge abutments. We looked in the windows at Savenor's on Charles, but alas they did not open until eleven so we pressed on. I asked Orion to tell me when he recognized where we were. He couldn't! I asked him how to get back to the apartment and he said "follow you". I asked what would happen if I was "raptured" or "taken". He had no clue.

Tomorrow he has an oncology appointment with Dr. Ebb.

  2. Well Orion, if you are following Steve, watch out, he is cagey. He is trained to trick campers into eating grubs! The meatloaf on the other hand looked really delicious. Congrats on the acceptance. Love Paul and Annie

  4. Steve, don't go getting raptured anywhere! Orion is not the only one who would be lost!
