Yara and I went up to Boston for her job interviews and ended up staying around for the worst December storm in Boston’s history. It’s nice to be around for those historical disasters. It snowed a little over two feet. It was fun to have a white Christmas for this Southern boy.

I got a chance to visit the Boston Museum of Fine Arts. It’s a pretty amazing place and if you get a chance to go you should. Part of the building has been designed by I. M. Pei, a famous modern architect. The exhibits really fascinated me. The two I really liked were the modern furniture exhibit and some artist’s selection of important works. The modern furniture really showed the evolution of artisan furniture. Additionally, there were pieces of artisan furniture all around the museum you could sit on, which was even cooler. The artist selection was cool It showed the breadth of the MFA’s collection and how American art differs from European art. Apparently, American art is more experiential and story based, whereas the European art is just more plain artistic and able to stand on its own without a story with it.

Anyways, I have a ticket for the museum that is good for a revisit for a year. So, if anyone wants to have a free ticket to the MFA, send me an email and I’ll mail it to you. Sorry I don’t have a pair. It’s enjoyable for one person too.
