Although the weather made for quiet calls on Neuro-Op, it also made the commute to work trecherous &#8211; so much so that Melody and I both had to invest in new footwear. With our car in the shop and trapped by the snow, we spent my birthday weekend snuggled up at home. I got my requisite Chinatown seafood <a href=\"http:\/\/www.newjumboseafoodrestaurant.com\/\">feast<\/a>, but also enjoyed some Southern fare at <a href=\"http:\/\/www.hungrymothercambridge.com\">Hungry Mother<\/a>.

To celebrate a year of new beginnings, I&#8217;ve also migrated my website after almost 8 years to a new hosting company. <a href=\"http:\/\/www.fatcow.com\">FatCow<\/a> offers unlimited hosting space and is powered 100% by wind energy.
