this photo essay, which a friend who is currently working in afghanistan posted, depicts the world's most dangerous countries for women. it is haunting. powerful. emotional. frightening. all of the above. what amazing women, and what incredible circumstances they must face on a daily basis. makes one think about how much we take for granted here, and how much there is to be done to make life better for women everywhere.

my new favorite restaurant
friends, i have something very important to report. i have a new favorite restaurant. the food at sushi thai garden (rod dee thai here in boston) is amazing. this is something that is simply not negotiable. but the lobster pool restaurant in rockport, ma is just incredible. great food, a casual atmosphere where you bus your own tables, BYOB, a guitar for guests to borrow and play, a sunset to be compared with the schoolhouse in westport, ny (note: to be compared with--not to beat!) and free seaside smores over a fire when the sun goes down.

| so the lobster was tim's...but what could be better than this? |
i just can't say enough. tim and i had a wonderful meal at the lobster pool a few weeks ago and i've been lazy to get a post up about it. some people may prefer upscale ambiance for a birthday dinner...for me, this was perfect. we spent less than $30 on our food, brought a great bottle of wine, weren't bugged by a waiter looking to flip our table, and stayed for hours.
can't wait to go back with family and friends in tow!

| i've never seen anything like it- people actually picked it up! |
