Boston Restaurant Blog -- May, 2006

Not much in the way of blogs or anything else over the past few days. This food lover has seen his stomach go straight to the dogs over the past few days, and, 10 pounds later (lighter?), I am ready for food, but perhaps should wait another day or two before taking any chances.

My stomach bug, as bad as it was, is nothing compared to what has happened to so many people in the Boston area over the past few days. I was in Winchester, Woburn, and Lawrence today--three communities hit particularly hard by the flooding rains that hit the area. It is indeed humbling to see what kind of damage water can do. And it is also humbling--and inspiring--to see the amazing effort put in by police officers, firefighters, and so many others out there, throwing themselves into thankless, dangerous work without any hesitation.

I know, this has nothing to do with restaurants or anything related to food, but it has given me pause as to what's really important in life. Being unable to eat for three days and watching a car float past an abandoned mill in Lawrence is indeed no fun, but it makes you think about how unimportant a long line at a restaurant or a stale piece of bread at a cafe really is.
