Adventures with Dr. Lady Cutie Troublemaker

From the Not For Tourists Guide to Boston:

There is a one-mile gap between the two Amtrak stations. The North Station stop is on the Orange and Green lines of the MBTA subway, and the South Station stop is on the Red Line. Yes, it is crazy that the stations aren’t on the same line and don’t directly connect to each other. No, they’re not going to do anything to correct the problem in the near future. Yes, they could have rolled it into the Big Dig project, since they were digging under the city anyway. No, we don’t know why they didn’t. And yes, it does seem odd that they spent billions to improve automobile transportation while ignoring public transportation. As is stands, travelers going from New York to Maine have to get off the train at South Station and either take a cab, take two subway trains, or walk to get to get to North Station to continue their journey.

On Tuesday, I will be 36. Today, I am 35 and not doing my work. Aaron’s best friend from childhood came to visit, and we had a lovely time, took lots of pictures and video. Some day, I will post some of it, and that will be grand.

My age amazes me sometimes. I thought at this point, I’d be making more money, raising kids, etc. Just didn’t work out that way. Overall, I think I’ve made it to 6² fairly successfully.

Still no attention span, but I think they are overrated anyway.

Addendum: Can someone please tell me why every street in JP has been ripped up in the past two weeks? Is this an annual thing? Do they think just before the first snow is a good time for this?

Well, I knew we’d get around to making a real vlog post some time. Abby takes too much video with her camera, and Aaron is way too good of an editor. So without further ado, please join Abby and Aaron on their trip to the new Stoughton, Mass IKEA… in which Abby kisses a frog, and it turns into a prince.

So tired, but I forced my eyes to stay open long enough to post a few pictures from our trip to the new IKEA in Stoughton. $183 spent, and an unbelievable amount of extremely useful purchases made. We got full desk setups for both of us to have real work stations at home. Unreal.

IKEA Vlogging to follow as soon as I can get Aaron to convert the file from its weird format. 

See a few pictures.
