I am annoyed on principle that the NEW YORK Times is paying someone to write an article about problems with Chicago's "century-old, deteriorating" mass transit system. Not that NYC subway is so terrible, but there are actually current issues with it!
I just think it's rather odd that a nation that prides itself on its virility should feel compelled to strap on forty pounds of protective gear just in order to play rugby.

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"
Timelies all!
Happy Birthday Allyson!
Got back from FKO last night. Other than the trip to Toronto, it was wonderful. The guests of honor, a 16-person filk chorus, were amazing to listen to, and there was lots of good music going on.
Now getting there, that was a bit more of a challenge than I would have liked. It started with our flight out of National being delayed 3 hours. Add the half hour on the ground at Pierson waiting for a gate and various luggage and shuttle issues, and we didn't get to the hotel until 2 am Friday morning. Bleah...

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.
Happy Birthday, Allyson!
And wishes and vibes and such for all I've missed in the last week or so.

Chicago's CTA woes have been huge news lately.

I had a fun weekend! I walked the Freedom Trail, toured Old Ironsides, ate at The Friendly Toast (my first time in NH!), saw 300, and marathoned some Wonderfalls with friends I don't see nearly often enough.

What is even happening?
We just introduced the kids to Peeps. DH said, "Lets keep feeding 'em to the kids and see what happens."
A world of no.
You're still such a n00B. That's when you say, "Oh, you should wait 'til I'm away for the weekend. It'll give you another thing to keep them busy."
But you have to say it with a straight face.

Yeah, I knew I'd get busted for that. I just didn't know what plans my hosts had so I went stealth.
That and I was computerless and internetless for most of last week.

I'm glad you said that, because I was imagining seekrit aurelia-meetage and didn't know how to say, "Hey, you were in Boston?" without sounding as pathetic as I was feeling.
So aurelia, you were in Boston? Cool.
