Family Return to My & the American Past
So, this Christmas I traveled to Boston, Framingham & western Massachusetts for the holiday. I lived for some of my formative years in Framingham and I derived great enjoyment by taking them to my past and some of the oldest places created by European culture in the US.

Food servers wore no masks, One evening the lobby/bar was filled with maskless real estate agents. I said to myself, “Self!…
