Hello from Boston!

[beetiger]

projectmothra and I had a lovely afternoon with my old friend/girlfriend/bard_bloom's family friend Barbara this afternoon. She's just moved to the Boston area from DC to start graduate work at Tufts, and she's settling in to a lovely house in Medford, with a charming housemate and a cozy front yard, on a street that made my Prius' transmission cry. (Said Prius also hit 100,000 miles on the way there.)

Tonight (and for the next two nights), we're at bard_bloom's brother's house, and we're planning to spend the day tomorrow with projectmothra's cousins, before joining a random cool selection of people for dinner. (Want to join us too? Drop me a line.)

I'm trying not to stress out about the people we aren't managing to see, or any of the plans that have fallen through. It's pretty low-cost and low-effort to be here, and we're mostly here since there's no reason for us to be at home this week, so I need to remember that.

I seem not to be able to put myself to bed at 10:00, despite the rest of the household being fast asleep. So, hi there, internets! It's a little frustrating to be here in Boston and not out with some of you nightbirds, but again, not really the purpose of the visit.

Hi! *wave from Arlington* You're welcome to come over if you feel sociable.

I should be getting out of work somewhere around 11:30. My cell # is in my livejournal, and/or you can text message me from my LJ profile page.

Hmm. I think I may have committed to the cousins for the day tomorrow, though that's maybe changeable...could you possibly meet us for lunch Wednesday?

Just as well, the gas company is supposed to stop by my place tomorrow and install a new gas meter "some time between 8:00am and noon", whatever time that ends up being. Normally I have a recurring Wednesday lunch date but that person's out of town, so I'm free for lunch Wednesday. :-)

See you there!

No clue if I can make it, but drop me a note with plans? :)

I can't put myself to bed by 10PM, either. :)
