On a very cold January night “The Patriots soared to an early lead and never looked back”. My first NFL game watched from amazing seats!

The New England Aquarium, awesome place to spend a few hours admiring the beauty of nature.

Last weekend I finally got to visit the Aquarium. The sharks were looking pretty threatening and this is what you would see if you had to jump in the big tank for the cleaning operations. Shark teeth are embedded in the gums rather than directly affixed to the jaw, and are constantly replaced throughout life. Multiple rows of replacement teeth grow in a groove on the inside of the jaw and steadily move forward as in a “conveyor belt”; some sharks lose 30,000 or more teeth in their lifetime. The rate of tooth replacement varies from once every 8–10 days to several months.Wikipedia

It is always nice to spend some time at the Boston MFA (Museum of Fine Arts).

A great place to forget about the speed of time…

Yes, I work on the T, why not?

Life is made of many variables. The only constant is you.

It is almost a couple of months I moved to Boston. The winter is not that cold as it probably should be. Snow is already gone and sometimes it is raining. I think about Italy that is anyway wormer, about some friends that are there. Sometimes I feel the need to go to north end (the Italian neighborhood) for some pastries and a espresso that looks more Italian than the ones you can have around. I’ve never been a coffee guy but I guess everything that makes you feel at home is good. Oh, my workmate Marco surprisingly makes a really good Cappuccino right at home… a good way to start the work day. But I started also to appreciate other things that I was not usually eating in Italy (pancakes!!!!!). Ok, time to start the day… happy Superbowl!

Here we go, going back to Europe once again. I left Boston with 26 degrees and I landed in Paris with 2 degrees Celsius. Luckily, in Milan it was a bit better 16. I left Boston in one of the best moments of the year… the Fall, with its beautiful colors.

… you know that days you go out in the morning and the face becames immediatly painful and almost every breath is a bit painful too. Do you know what I am talking about?. And when the wind blows in the face ehm. It’s only -13° with some wind (one week ago it was -14° or 15°). Maybe it is normal for friends living here or in north Europe. But for me… damn… it’s coooold.

I landed in Boston yesterday afternoon. Today I had many meetings. At 8pm, at the end of the Semantic Web meeting at Stata, I went out and…. surprise… snow!!!

Yeah, this is the same old picture… but, as you can see the water is frozen and the snow covered the ice.
