driving time
I don't know why it counts as a blog entry, but I drove about 700 miles
round trip to Boston and back. Left on Thursday and got back today. It was
fun... Dave had Friday off and we went to the old standby, Big City for
pool.
Of course, Dave gave up drinking booze for Lent. (It's sickening.) So,
there was only drinking for me, at least until Karen showed up. I suck at
pool, but that's OK.
We (Dave, Karen, Rob, Noel and I -- in my car, of course) went to the Sam
Adams brewery tour in Jamaica Plain on Saturday. Free beer for all --
well, again, except Dave. The tour was interesting; did I mention the free
beer?
Sunday was boring. On Monday, Rob invited me to Simpson's Trivia Night at
a local bar. Dave, and his roommate Fausto (if that's too hard to
remember, you can call him "Ryan") also came. The strange thing about
Simpson's Trivia Night were the weirdos who know so much about the TV show
that they not only win, but blow away the competition. Freaky.
I mean, I love the show, a lot. But these guys answered the most obscure
questions within seconds -- miliseconds.
Yeah, and then today I drove back. The trip home was a full hour less than
the trip there. That's what dry roads and a little daylight will do for
you.
