This morning, work with a client led me to downtown Boston for a meeting. I arrived early having learned that parking in this part of town can be a very challenging and time consuming exercise. With a half hour on my hands, I spent most of it at the Boston Irish Famine Memorial. I have passed by and admired the statutes many times but have never had time to dwell and read all of the plaques detailing the Irish Potato Famine, also known as the Great Hunger which took the lives of over 1 million people, 15% of the country’s population at the time.

Later in the day, I met with our builder, architect, and foundation sub-contractor in preparation for the next phase of the project. Weather permitting we are on track for concrete pouring next week.
