recent work necessities have meant that this blog is living up to its (damnit, it irks me that the iphone predictive text entry assumes I want to write “it’s” when, by golly, I want – and actually enter – “its”) name. southwest, northeast, near and far, I’m all over the place. although given the increasing trend airlines seem to have toward charging for checked luggage, I’m seeing less of the baggage carousel these days.

I’m done with Boston for the moment, which is so much more the pity because I do quite enjoy it – and because I just finished a lovely lunch with the lovelier Alejna (who the phone insists on capitalizing, and I’ll let it, because she deserves that much, at least) and mostly-unfussy Theo, who was quite well-behaved at lunch and smiled engagingly before audibly soiling his diapers. I always enjoy spending time with Alejna, in part because she tells me about her ongoing research in a field so different from mine, but mostly because she’s generally great company and a very cool person.

so, after lunch in Cambridge she directed me to the appropriate T station for Logan, which is why right now finds me thumb-blogging on a silver line bus to terminal C.

I’ll be home tonight, the travel gods willing, happy to sleep in my own bed, curled up with g and secure in the knowledge that I don’t have to leave town again until… oh, hell. friday.
