What are your favorite museums in your local area? What museums would you suggest to someone visiting your area? Tell us a little about them.

Here’s my list:

http://www.mfa.org/ Museum of Fine Arts…my home away from home growing up. They’ve expanded it…one thing I don’t like is that they took out a lot of the character that used to be there. For example, Nineteenth Century European Art used to be displayed in Galleries decorated in the style of that period. Now there are stark white walls with Gallery lighting… loses some of the impact I think…

http://www.artmuseums.harvard.edu/fogg/ The Fogg Museum. There are several art museums at Harvard. This is the oldest…and my favorite.

http://www.gardnermuseum.org/ The Gardner Museum... A real gem. Home of the late Isabella Stuart Gardner, it’s an Italian Palazzo reconstructed in the Fenway area of Boston. It houses an amazing art collection, beautifully displayed. Members of the Boston Symphony perform there often….The music resonates through the building…truly magical.

http://www.mos.org/ Boston Museum of Science… I have yet to see another science museum that lives up to this standard

http://web.mit.edu/museum/ The MIT Museum…A real gem I discovered about a year ago. The local CSI (sorry…not Crime Scene Investigation…. It’s Construction Specification Inst.) chapter had their holiday party there. We had the run of the place. What a blast!

i love new england... i always used to read nathaniel hawthorne on the front portch of my house in georgia when i was a kid and think that many of his characters were like jw's..... there's a place near the cape, called buzzard's bay, i used to sit there for hours eating "steamers" and drinking beer, and on the cape,what a beautiful place.... i love the southland, and will always live here, but i miss new england... .

the "hawthorne hotel" in salem, mass.

that was like a home to me, i'd walk in the door and they'd always say, "hello mr. huff"... i'd get drunk at the local pub and be out there at the cemetery in the middle of town taking ghost photos at 12am.

As far as I know, he was.. I don't think my aunt heard from him after he left.

I'm from the greater Boston area....grew up the next town over from Dedham,(Westwood) that Tuesday mentioned.

Not a ghost story, but really freaky none the less. I majored in Art in College... and I was in a sculpture class working in clay on a bust. I was concentrating really hard...and as I worked on the face, it seemed to come alive...facial muscles seeming to move...breathing through the nose...the skin warm to the touch... I started to shake... I half expected the eyes to blink.... I didn't work on it again....decided to call it finished.

Fast forward about a month when I brought it home. An aunt of mine (non-jw) was visiting and saw it. She screamed... when she finally calmed down she asked how I knew. I had no idea what she was talking about. Aparently it was the face of the man she was engaged to...who fathered her child and left for California without her many years before. I was about 5 when that happened to her. I had never met him nor had I ever seen a picture of him.

Cognac,

I'm sorry I missed your call last night. I'd call you back, but I don't want to make it worse by calling at a bad time. My phone is on, so I won't miss it again....

DJK is right...you have plenty of time. Take it slow...

Why did the chicken cross the road?

DR. PHIL : The problem we have here is that this chicken won't realize that he must first deal with the problem on 'THIS' side of the road before it goes after the problem on the 'OTHER SIDE' of the road. What we need to do is help him realize how stupid he's acting by not taking on his 'CURRENT' problems before adding 'NEW' problems.

OPRAH : Well, I understand that the chicken is having problems, which is why he wants to cross this road so bad. So instead of having the chicken learn from his mistakes and take falls, which is a part of life, I'm going to give this chicken a car so that he can just drive across the road and not live his life like the rest of the chickens.

GEORGE W. BUSH : We don't really care why the chicken crossed the road. We just want to know if the chicken is on our side of the road, or not. The chicken is either against us, or for us. There is no middle ground here.

COLIN POWELL : Now to the left of the screen, you can clearly see the satellite image of the chicken crossing the road...

ANDERSON COOPER - CNN: We have reason to believe there is a chicken, but we have not yet been allowed to have access to the other side of the road.

JOHN KERRY : Although I voted to let the chicken cross the road, I am now against it! It was the wrong road to cross, and I was misled about the chicken's intentions. I am not for it now, and will remain against it.

NANCY GRACE : That chicken crossed the road because he's GUILTY! You can see it in his eyes and the way he walks.

PAT BUCHANAN: To steal the job of a decent, hardworking American.

MARTHA STEWART : No one called me to warn me which way that chicken was going. I had a standing order at the Farmer's Market to sell my eggs when the price dropped to a certain level. No little bird gave me any insider information.

DR SEUSS : Did the chicken cross the road? Did he cross it with a toad? Yes, the chicken crossed the road, but why it crossed I've not been told.

ERNEST HEMINGWAY : To die in the rain. Alone.

JERRY FALWELL : Because the chicken was gay! Can't you people see the plain truth?' That's why they call it the 'other side.' Yes, my friends, that chicken is gay. And if you eat that chicken, you will become gay too. I say we boycott all chickens until we sort out this abomination that the liberal media white washes with seemingly harmless phrases like 'the other side. That chicken should not be crossing the road. It's as plain and as simple as that.

GRANDPA : In my day we didn't ask why the chicken crossed the road. Somebody told us the chicken crossed the road, and that was good enough.

BARBARA WALTERS : Isn't that interesting? In a few moments, we will be listening to the chicken tell, for the first time, the heart warming story of how it experienced a serious case of molting, and went on to accomplish its life long dream of crossing the road.

JOHN LENNON : Imagine all the chickens in the world crossing roads together, in peace.

ARISTOTLE : It is the nature of chickens to cross the road.

BILL GATES : I have just released eChicken2008, which will not only cross roads, but will lay eggs, file your important documents, and balance your check book. Internet Explorer is an integral part of eChicken. This new platform is much more stable and will never cra...#@&&^(C% ........ reboot.

ALBERT EINSTEIN : Did the chicken really cross the road, or did the road move beneath the chicken?

BILL CLINTON: I did not cross the road with THAT chicken. What is your definition of chicken?

AL GORE: I invented the chicken!

COLONEL SANDERS : Did I miss one?

DICK CHENEY : Where's my gun?

AL SHARPTON : Why are all the chickens white? We need some black chickens.

This happened a while back, and I posted it then....I couldn't make this up if I tried

This was crazy. I was in the office behind one of our showrooms today working on the computer. The showroowm manager came back shaking his head.. He said "You won't believe the call I just got. The guy's name was Holden Johnson, and he wanted to set up an appointment with our service department." So he set up an appointment for him....then started second guessing himself...not believing anyone could have that name. I thought about it a minute, and said to him that it couldn't be real...it had to be a "crank" call. As soon as the words escaped my mouth, I realized what I had said, and nearly fell on the floor. He looked completely shocked and said "Debbie... I never knew you had it in you!" then realized what he had said, and we both turned red... No one dared say another word....
