Sweets and Segways

300 Hanover St., Boston, MA

On Tuesday, I made an early morning run (4:45 a.m.) to Logan Airport in Boston to drop off some campers and counselors. I told some co-workers that I'd stop at a bakery and bring back some treats. I was strongly advised by one co-worker to stop at Mike's Pastry in North Boston, an area which is historically Italian. Best bakery ever! Seriously, I could have dropped $200 in that place with no problem. The cannolis melt in your mouth. I'll let the picture below do the talking...


Clockwise from top left: German brownie, apple crumb, chocolate mocha, lobster tail, chocolate chip cannolis, cupcake

After buying my stash of pastries, I made a pit stop in NH to visit the ever-beautiful KP to share cannolis and coffee before heading back to camp. It's always good to visit with KP. While there, she gave me an impromptu lesson on her Segway. It was surprisingly fun and a little challenging. I still need a little more practice time.

Who is 'KP' then?

As a "victim" slash "sweepstakes winner" of Mike's pastry concoctions, I can attest to the fact that at 2am, nothing is better on the tongue than a warm, choclatey bite of mocha goodness! Thanks Dave, and keep 'em comin'!

I hope you gave yourself time to digest the pastries before hoping on the Segway. That can be dangerous.

If you ever need a job down south, apply at Orlando airport, security use those Segway's, you'll fit in perfectly.

Interviewer:
So, Mr DD, what previous experience do you have, that make's you think this job posting would be a good fit for you?

DD:
I recently took lessons on how to ride a Segway, on even ground, pne handed, while eating a pastry from Mike's Pastry shop.

Interviewer:
Excellent, you have the job.
