Temptation Tuesday
Late last year I featured Thiago Zanini in a Temptation Tuesday post and the response was overwhelmingly positive (to put it mildly) so I thought I’d feature him again. This Brazilian from Sao Paulo is if nothing else very tempting.
NewRep Theatre presents Lonely Planet
NewRep Theatre: Photo by Andrew Brilliant / Brilliant Pictures
The NewRep Theater located in Watertown currently has a show getting a lot of attention called, Lonely Planet, which tells the story of two friends during the height of the AIDS epidemic in America. The play has been revived as part of the NewRep’s 2017-2018 season, which is focused on the theme of resilience.
While AIDS is no longer a death sentence the stigma remains and the virus continues to impact gay men and communities of color disproportionately. Lonely Planet asks the audience to look beyond the virus, that has killed more than 35 million people, and focus on community and compassion. The two-hour play centered on the friendship between Carl and Jody provides an interesting and sometimes humorous contrast between the two as they struggle to make sense of a virus that is ravaging their community.
The play opened on February 3rd and runs through March 4th. Tickets remain for most shows.
Men in kilts
I couldn’t find a photo of a winter Olympian wearing a kilt, so I’ve deferred to Summer Olympian Tom Daley in honor of all the athletes in South Korea.

Stopping by Woods on a Snowy Evening
Every winter I share this poem – a personal favorite from one of my favorite poets, Robert Frost. Stopping by Woods on a Snowy Evening is a poem Frost wrote nearly 100 years ago in 1922 and was first published a year later in his Pulitzer Prize winning, New Hampshire volume.
STOPPING BY WOODS ON A SNOWY EVENING
Whose woods these are I think I know.
His house is in the village, though;
He will not see me stopping here
To watch his woods fill up with snow.
My little horse must think it queer
To stop without a farmhouse near
Between the woods and frozen lake
The darkest evening of the year.
He gives his harness bells a shake
To ask if there is some mistake.
The only other sound’s the sweep
Of easy wind and downy flake.
The woods are lovely, dark, and deep,
But I have promises to keep,
And miles to go before I sleep,
And miles to go before I sleep.
Saturday morning coffee
Enjoy your morning cup of joe (or whatever you may want to call him).

South End rumor: Tremont 647 to close and become Japanese bistro
On Wednesday the staff at Andy Husbands Tremont 647 and Sister Sorel were told that both restaurants will close permanently on April 1 with plans to reopen as a Japanese bistro at a later date.
Andy Husbands’ Tremont 647 has been operating in the South End since 1996 and is a popular (and affordable) neighborhood bar and restaurant that will definitely be missed by many. At this point there are no details regarding the Japanese restaurant that will be replace them.
Andy Husbands has in recent years expanded beyond his humble adjoining South End restaurants opening two barbecue restaurants called The Smoke Shop, the first of which opened in Kendall Square in 2016 and the second which opened in Fort Point Channel this past November.
