Hope to see you there!

Bill Clinton at Tufts on Sunday

Former President Bill Clinton is speaking at Tufts University for the Issam M. Fares Lecture this Sunday at 6pm. It's "By University Invitation Only" so it's not open to the public, but I thought it was worth a mention here. (Be on the lookout for guys with wires in their ears?)

Stolen bike alert

Hi folks,
My husband's bike just got stolen from where it was locked in Davis Square Plaza (with the tattoo shop and the Davis Square Family Practice) this morning between 11 and noon.
He's already called in a police report and is checking Craigslist, but on the off chance:

It's a Specialized Roubaix Comp 2006 or 2007 (I believe), shiny black carbon bike with yellow/grey highlights. It has higher handlebars than most, and a layback seatpost with a Flite saddle on it. It also had two notable stickers on it: a silvery peacock and a Macaw (I like to sticker-bomb bikes).

Anyway, we're not too hopeful, but you never know!
Any leads, please e-mail me at karin at tugboat23 dot com

Thanks!
