Hearing All Kinds of Time -- Fountains of Wayne

A Tradition, Belated




So, as earlier noted, I was smart enough to bring a camera with me to Boston, but not smart enough to remember to put in the data card, so all the pictures I took were in the camera's internal memory, and the cord I needed to extract them I had left at home. And this is why I am posting my traditional "here's the view out my hotel window" picture three days after I took it, now that I'm back at home. Anticlimactic, I know.

This, incidentally, is a view of south Boston, in what some assured me was the business district and others equally assured me was a placed I would be mugged if I left the hotel. I don't think it seemed particularly dangerous, myself, but neither did it seem particularly populated -- there wasn't much of a neighborhood surrounding the hotel and any restaurants, etc, seemed like a taxi ride away. As a result, I spent all of the weekend within the hotel itself. Fortunately, it was a nice hotel -- and stocked with people I knew and liked! It's nice when that happens.

Anyway, once I got my ticketing snafu cleared up yesterday, my flight back from Boston was actually pleasant and uneventful, and now here I am, enjoying my President's Day holiday. Hope you all are doing equally well.
