I’ve walked the dog and showered. That’s maybe probably it for the day.
Happy birthday, Juliana!

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
Hey, Boston-area people, I have a friend who's trying to figure out travel stuff. She needs to get from Back Bay (Amtrak) to South Station to pick up the Concord Bus. Is there some kind of city transit that will accomplish that?

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
The easiest way is to take a commuter rail train one stop. She'll have to buy a separate ticket from that, but it should be pretty straightforward. The only problem with that is commuter rail train schedules are fucked right now.
But wait, if she's on an Amtrak train at Back Bay, it's about to go to South Station next.

Yeah, but it triples the price of the ticket.

Seriously? I have never heard of such a thing! The commuter rail will be $2.40, apparently.

I just got back from amyth’s service and post-service drinks with, among others, Vortex, Javachick, Amych, and Smonster. The service was sad, and lovely, and moving. It was wonderful to meet so many f2f afterwards, though. I’m so glad so many could make it!
Happy birthday, Juliana!

I'm so glad you could all go, and represent for the rest of us.

Buffistas got multiple shoutouts in the service. Amyth’s non-Buffista friends knew how important she was to us.

That is lovely to hear about.
