boston

No, we're not in Boston, we're back home in Minneapolis... But we were in Boston yesterday, after having spent a couple of nights on the coast of Maine, with some time to kill before our flight at 6 P.M...

I hadn't ever been to Boston, so it was interesting to drive around and sort of get the feel of the city while trying at the same time to avoid traffic congestion. We only got out of the car once, in Cambridge, and strolled around Harvard University and Harvard Square a little. This would be a fun, but very expensive, area to live... I would think, though, that living among these fast-moving college students, you would always feel under-educated (Sarah Palin, stay away!)...

We are done traveling for a while, we need to make some money now instead of just spending it.

What a financial week it's been for the world, though! I'm shocked -- shocked! -- to find out that we're a Socialist country after all -- a $700 billion dollar (at least) bailout for the financial industry! Funny how there is always borrowable money for endless wars and aid to corporate America... Now can we please get some national health insurance?? Comparatively, it's just a drop in the bucket!
