Things I Will Miss in Boston ( Read more... )

I have been anxiously awaiting/desiring tomorrow for quite a while now - my last day of work. With the week we'll have left in Boston to pack/get rid of our furniture/say goodbye to our city, along with the two weeks or more we'll be spending on the road, I'll have almost a month of being unemployed - the longest since I was maybe 16. (Okay, not ( Read more... )

Tomorrow Kathy & I embark on our whirlwind New England Road Trip, which I have been planning all summer but now that it is here I'm having a hard time believing is actually happening. Or rather, I am just not in my crazy reading-tour-guides-24-hours-a-day mood I was in for awhile a month or so ago. I mean, I read the Eyewitness Travel New England ( Read more... )

It occurs to me on a daily basis recently that I am doing a really bad job at keeping in contact with/being a good friend to people I don't see in my day-to-day Boston life: I owe several people email (Sam, especially, and Mandy come to mind) and phone calls (Zoe), etc., etc., and I just haven't found the time or energy to do any of it, but I just ( Read more... )

Tonight was Keegan's birthday and so I drank a lottttt. Which was good, because work kinda sucked, at least near the end, and the whole time near the end I was thinking about how I just wanted to be at Sweetwater drinking a lot for Keegan's birthday, and then it actually happened, so, that is good when things you want to happen actually happened.

Awhile ago I lost my passport. And by "awhile," I mean a rather long but unspecified amount of time. I had it when I moved into my old apartment back in the summer of...2004? & I knew exactly where I had stored it, in the travel-pouch-unattractive-money-belt-thing I used while traveling in Europe, stashed into one of my drawers. One day I went to ( Read more... )

My favorite quote of the day from my Grist email:
In Beltway media circles, among pundits who nod at one another with furrowed brows on cable TV, a new consensus is congealing: global warming is real, but there's not much we can do about it, since efforts to substantially reduce emissions would destroy the world economy. These bed-wetters are ( Read more... )

Just a few days ago, it was in the 60s in Boston and people were wearing capris and leaving their winter coats at home. The East Coast is breaking all kinds of records - the longest New York City has gone without snowfall in a hundred years, the hottest temperatures Boston has seen in January, uh, probably ever. On top of the heat outside, the heat ( Read more... )

OMG I love Boise State and I blame Kathy for getting me into sports because well most of the time when it's not concerning college basketball I still space out a little when she and someone else sports-minded go into long diatribes about sports-related things but every now and then I'll get REALLY INTO some random game and then my blood pressure ( Read more... )
