    The Art Museums You MUST Visit

    As Homer Simpson once eloquently said, “More artsy, less fartsy.” We here at the Oracle echo his deeply held belief. Art can be elevating and deeply moving. But if you’re in a venue that makes you feel like a fish out of water, it’s not worth your time. Join us this week as we take you to the art museums you MUST visit. And we think you’ll like them, EVEN IF art isn’t your thing! The Fogg Museum at Harvard – Cambridge, MA On a chilly March day, we stopped at the Fogg museum for the first time. We wanted to find a way to pass some time indoors and…

    History Nerds and Taphophiles will LOVE This One

    If you’ve been following us from winter to spring, you may have noticed a pattern: So, can you guess where we ended up in April?? That’s right, our legendary kidney donor athlete had to go back to Boston to run the marathon. Have you ever wondered what the spouses of runners do after they kiss their person good bye? Why…we worry for their safety; pray for their success; and suffer anxiety while watching their progress on the course, of course! But this time, I added my own walking tour of the American revolution and some super interesting gravestones. History nerds and Taphophiles will LOVE this one! The Cambridge House Share…

    How Smart are You – going to Harvard for Free?

    With the Boston Marathon right around the corner, we had to share with you an ABSOLUTE gem we uncovered on a recent trip. In Cambridge, which is a 20 minute ride from downtown Boston, visit the Fogg Museum at Harvard. It has priceless works of art and it costs NOTHING to go there. I mean, how smart are you – going to Harvard for free? How we found it For the first time since 2015, we went to Boston FOR FUN. That’s right, NO RUNNING. (Like at all!) But here’s the thing, we were going to Boston in mid-March. The odds of the weather being warm enough to walk the…
