Went to the Charles River Museum of Industry and Innovation for the Francis Cabot Lowell Bicentennial. Wound up mostly hanging around outside at the demonstrations of things like blacksmithing and yarn spinning, but that's okay. I now have a brochure on blacksmithing lessons and I'm thinking this sounds like a thing to try at some point soon.

Figured afterwards that I should find a coffee shop or something and maybe get lunch of some kind, so I started wandering up Moody Street since I knew there was no Starbucks in town and that I would be better off just looking for a place on foot than consulting Google Maps. I wound up at More Than Words Bookstore, which sells used books and coffeeshop stuff. Turns out it's their annual dollar book day.

My poor backpack never knew what hit it.

That sounds like a perfect day!

I haven't managed to take a class, but http://www.newenglandschoolofmetalwork.com/ is not far from us and it very tempting.

Now I imagine you're in even greater need of bookshelves.

I have a full sized Billy bookshelf waiting to be loaded. The only reason I haven't stocked it up yet is because the heat in my apartment is baseboard heat and I'm not sure how to secure the shelf when it's going to be several inches away from the wall by default. But, yeah, I may need another set of shelves to go with it...

Oh man, More Than Words is awesome! We collaborate with them sometimes on youth initiatives, and they do such excellent work with young people.
