THE FINALE

We were invited by Sinan, son of a best friend and classmate of Terri's at Tufts, to Sunday brunch at one of the shrines of East Coast sailors, the  prestigious Eastern Yacht Club in Marblehead Massachusetts, which is as Boston Brahman as they come.

Dora had a Lobster Salad and I ordered the classic American hamburger with 'everything you ever wanted on it'.  Say all you want about the conformist eating habits in America, the Holy Grail is, after all, the Holy Grail.  Nothing beats a hefty burger cooked medium rare, with bacon, mushrooms, raw red onion, pickles and of course the strongest blue cheese.  Dora raved about the Lobster Salad because them babies were probably caught on the Maine coast just the day before. They did not travel 48-hours to Hong Kong, and be casually billed as 'fresh', that is probably why.  For libation, Samuel Adams beers, the pride of Boston.

With a perfectly blue sky, white clouds, warm sun and a steady breeze, it was a grand finale to the Bubs Reunion Weekend and our Boston sojourn.
