Hi Mark!
Driving around Boston really is rough. After the last meeting, I followed your
directions to Faneil Hall and then spent the next 1/2 hour trying to get around
Goverment Center to the next block over. It's amazing that in Boston you can
see where you want to go, but not drive directly there. Sometimes walking
seems faster. Anyway, I finally got there and brought my wife some of that
famous chowder and corn bread. She didn't mind my being an hour late. <g>
Hello David –
I didn't associate Vermont with you. I didn't know you traveled so far. I hope
you can make the meeting Thur.
If you have any work please gring it. It can be something in progress. I'm
bringing a video of a "work in progress."
All I said was, "I would get you ONE BLOCK away!" (g)
I heard a story once that Boston was designed for farmers getting their cows
into the city. The cow trails eventually became the city streets. I don't know
if this is true but I believe it.
When I have visitors from other states they can't believe that they can see
where they want to go but there doesn't seem to be any way to get there.
regards,
Mark
>> I didn't associate Vermont with you.
Nope. I'm from the New Haven area. It was someone else who is coming from
Vermont.

That's the fun of driving in Boston. Most everything is a block or two away.
You can even see it from where you are. If only you could just stop the car
and walk there. If you try to make a logical turn TOWARD where you're trying
to go, you only end up further away! <G>
Regarding this month's meeting, I won't be able to make it. Perhaps I'll see
you next month.
I heard that too about the Boston streets originally being cow paths. My high
school geography teacher told me that — the farmers would take their cattle to
the market on the common every weekend. It would explain why a map of Boston
looks like a spider's web with the common at the center.

It also explains why your average Boston Driver would probably be better suited
to walking beside a cow, rather than piloting a 2000lb mechanical vehicle!<g>

I have found that two years of driving on the left side of the road in
Australia has actually IMPROVED my ability to navigate Boston. It makes some
kind of twisted sense, if you think about it.
Michele
Actually, Michele, after driving around Boston since 1972, I definitely see
your logic there!

Michele –
Missed you last night. I hope everything went well with your publisher.
Is this the same publisher publishing your XXX 3DS stories for worldwide
distribution in the adult section of my local bookstore?
Joe D. from the group mentioned that he is going to try and get a few of us
together for lunch and liquid refreshment before you leave. Are you up for it?
How are you dealing with all the kids?
later – Mark
Re: lunch and refreshment, sounds great! I am scheduled to leave this portion
of the planet on June 3, so anytime before then. I think we just need to check
with our Fearless Leader as he has the longest trek.
