"Are his records due to his physiological advantages over his competitors?"

Wait, you mean people who are BETTER AT SPORTS are BETTER AT SPORTS??

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Yeah, you know, it's funny -- some people do better on tests because they are naturally smarter, too.

Jesse, what about Central Square in Cambridge or the Cambridgeport area? The South End? Southie? Eastie?

I do understand the JP desire though. I don't judge- it's just my knee-jerk rant! (well, I don't judge *you*, but I judge JP a little.)

What's hilarious, Nora, is I feel (without actually being there!) that JP is the Park Slope, Brooklyn, of Boston (maybe of 5-10 years ago). And I am totally judgy about Park Slope! Upping my price limit a little in my search opened up more South End places. Also, what about the North End? That seems cute, but possible awkward to live in.

If you don't have a car, the North End is a great place to live. (so I hear) Even with a car, it's just that parking is a headache.

I have no car! And no plans to get one -- I figure I can make it work for a year if it turns out I need one, and then I can just move.

I am in the airport, waiting for my flight to NY. Everyone else seems ot be going to U2 and/or a Yankees game. Not me.

Also, going through security made me realize I have no concept of what size a quart is.

The large group of Newfoundlanders behind me are going to U2.

It's supposed to hit 80 today so I wore short sleeves. Unfortunately, my office is FREEZING. Maybe time to break out the emergency sweater.
