you were in North Adams this weekend--I went to Williams! North Adams has really gotten spiffy!

Wow, and we were in Williamstown too, since that is the next town over. Small world! We spent Sat & Sun night at the HI in North Adams, our first getaway since our Sept 2019 Niagara trip. I feel like NA is always on the verge of moving on up, but then it's one of the first places to get knocked back down when there's a recession or something like covid hits. We are very fond of that little city.

I went to college in the 70's, and it was a depressed milltown. It's so nice that it has gotten so much healthier than it was in those days.

Yes, and I think MA MOCA had a lot to do with that. I love MA MOCA, although we did not get a chance to visit this trip. Did you go to MCLA? I've always wondered why NA didn't attract more visitors with Mt Greylock and Natural Bridge State Park, as well as the Western Gateway Heritage State Park. There's also a wonderful historic cemetery. It has a lot going for it even without MA MOCA.

No, I went to Williams. But Tom Krens was my art teacher, so I have that MA MOCA connection!

Williams is such a beautiful campus, and they have a nice art museum that we've visited. As an aside that is relevant to the puzzle thread, the cool plant shop also had a free jigsaw puzzle exchange pile on the counter.

First time I’ve ever owed taxes to the feds. Just discovered yesterday you could pay online rather than mailing a check. Did it online this morning. So easy! I was happy.

That is such a great idea, to have a jigsaw puzzle exchange!

Went garage sailing today and got GD a book called "The true story of the 3 little pigs" by Scholastic. It was my laugh of the day. It is the wolf's perspective on the story. haha

That is a good book. There is ALWAYS another side to the story.

Now I am curious. Tried thinking about the wolf's perspective on the three little pigs story and how I would write it. I had no success so need some suggestions please. Was he just trying to help them build a better house by blowing the old one down?
