out in the sticks

spent an excellent day in the city yesterday.. one thing i really like about Boston is that it is a very walkable city, and conducive to pedestrians. at least every time i try to cross the street the drivers aren't staring at me with menacing growls, licking their chops like Wile E. Coyote does looking at the Road Runner!

the rest of the brownie gang made it (finally) into Boston from Buffalo, which turned into an adventure on it's own cos Boston has this bad habit of renaming roads halfway down the length of the road, like they just got bored or something! and then with all the suburbs so close together, it gets more than a bit confusing cos you have the same street names in every suburb..

we had a couple of drinks at the Asgard, one of the upmarket pubs in the MIT area, this place is crawling with yuppies and 'suits'! after which we went to watch the Blue Man Group at night.. believe it or not, instead of paying the $40 entry, if you usher for the show you can watch it for free! the show itself was excellent, we had an awesome time! if you can make it to the show, do it.. or else look for the DVD, it has to be seen and heard to be really enjoyed.

drove out late at night to New Hampshire to crash at a friend's place.. i tell you this place is really in the sticks! apparently not only do you not have to wear a seatbelt in this state, but it's okay to not have car insurance either!! the roads only get plowed once a day in the middle fo winter also, and salting is not that frequent either. and the clincher.. the damned deer keep thinking the interstate highway is their local pub where they can meet up and chew the cud.. sample this
Deer 1: "hey hey, did you check out the new doe in Purchasing?"
Deer 2: "ooooh yeah, what a rack she.. BAM!!!"
and before you know it you are eating deer for the next two weeks!
