Tomorrow, I go to a few meetings that are work-related. Then a concert at Pier Six at night. Then a 3:55am train to Boston! We’ll be in Beantown Wednesday and Thursday. Of course, I’ll be making my pilgrimage to Walden Pond, but I don’t think I’ll have time to take the long B Train out to where I went to school. We’re staying at the Adams Inn in North Quincy, right near where I lived for two years in North Quincy, a block from the beach.
Then we are taking the Acela Express to New York early Friday Morning, staying at The New Yorker and returning home to Baltimore late Saturday night. Two days at home, and then I’m off to Philly from the 12th to the 15th for some training. They I officially start my new job on the 18th.
Awesome all around, though it means most of two weeks away from my beloved bike.
To amuse yourself, check out the video to the awesome song by the Dropkick Murphys — who are from Quincy, where I actually lived.

dropkick murphys are playing in the fall at the club that i work. can’t wait. that scene in the departed is so badass because of that song. any other director would have used like fall out boy, except scoresese.
speaking of scoresese, anybody seen “after hours”. why isn’t that movie on more top 10 lists?

Wish I could get some time off, I’d take you out for coffee. [I'm up on the North Shore.] Looks like you may get some decent weather, anyway!

Hey! You’re going to be stomping around my summer stomping grounds! Unfortunately, I’m still teaching summer school and thus will be in New Hampshire for part of the time you’re in Boston & grading papers for the rest of the time. But it’s good to think one of us has time to ship out to Walden… ;-)
