Sedarim in Boston.
I generally respond to queries of "What do you do?" with "I'm a sofer," sofer being a term people are at least vaguely familiar with, as opposed to soferet which tends to require explanation. I discovered that in Cambridge MA this is a bad idea, because people invariably responded "Oh, you're in software?"
I got to read Shir ha-Shirim too, because the shul didn't have Shir leyners, so I shared the reading with the shul's resident knows-how-to-do-everything. I wasn't expecting a chance to read. I was happy.
