Sunday morning thoughts…

February 3rd, 2008

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!

Interesting experience

Mouse embryo
Thanks to Sheede, today I’ve been watching a mouse embryo dissection. It is incredible to see the anatomy: heart, lungs, kidneys, intestine, mouth… Everything looked so small to me, but she has been able, through the help of the microscope, to detect and isolate the organs in a few seconds. She said is a matter of exercise (I think it is also a matter of skills… a bit like surgeons). Only after isolating the different parts, it was really possible for me recognizing them. Wish I had the chance to take some pictures to post here.And then comes another interesting topic, growing the single organs… hopefully, one day, I will see that too.

Simply amazing.

Leaving Las Vegas… oops Boston.

October 26th, 2007

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.

It’s kind of cold today…

February 5th, 2007

… 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.

Sky in New England

October 23rd, 2006

I am living in Boston since one month and one week. Temperature is getting colder in the latest days, but the sky is always awesome. The weather is always changing fast giving the sky amazing colors. Mark Twain once said something like: If you don’t like the weather in New England wait a minute and it will change.
