I am posting from Nantucket. I know, I know, I’m in Nantucket and instead of walking the streets I’m on the laptop. I’m about to fix that. But I just wanted to say that if you’re trying to get ahold of me, I’m not there.
Back on Sunday. See you all then.
As I write this, I am riding the megabus to NYC. Â (As a side note, wifi and power on a bus? PURE GENIUS.) Â And this is just one part of my insane weekend.
It started this morning, when we went out and did some house hunting, including seeing one that we’re heavily considering putting an offer on. Â Then zooming to South Station to catch the megabus down to NY, as mentioned. Â See, I was invited to an invite-only dinner for a ‘who’s who’ of the a cappella world, taking place before this year’s ICCA finals (varsityvocals.com for full info). Â And after some thought, A. and I decided to go crazy and go for it. Â So we’re meeting for Dinner at 5, seeing the show tonight, and then at 1:30 am catching the last megabus back to Boston. Â We’ll get in around 6:45am. Â Drive home, crash for a few hours more, and then we both have to get up again. A. is taking the niece for a few hours and heading off to girls night, whereas I am going back to Boston to do tech and prep and stage managing for the latest Boston Babydolls show, French Kiss (bostonbabydolls.net for full info). Â It is looking to be a fun show, with a lot of comedy sprinkled through. Â Tickets are between $15 and $40, so you should all come see it. Â If, like me, your weekend is already way overbooked, come out Monday night and see the show, as it’s running -two- nights at Club Oberon.
So, yeah, 8 hours of bus, 9 hours in NYC, 2 hours of house hunting, 8 hours of theaterwork… Â somewhere I sleep in there, somewhere I eat in there, somewhere I don’t go crazy in there…. Â WHEE!
P.S… Â wifi and power outlets on a bus? Â PURE GENIUS.
It’s raining again. Â Two weeks ago we had major rains. Â Commuting to and from work suddenly took hours, as roads were closed, traffic was rerouted, and thousands of people were pushed into going miles around their usual travels. Â And with the ground still frozen, all that water has had nowhere to go. Â More rain today, and again we’re in flood watch, as rivers are expected to once again overflow. Â Basements everywhere are needing to be pumped out. Â There had better be a butt-ton of flowers in April and May to make up for this.
Last Thursday the weather was nice, sunny and warm. Â But still there was standing water everywhere, and although most of the roads had opened up, some were still closed. Â So on Friday I took the camera with me, and on my drive home, took some shots along my commute. Â Click past the cut to see the gallery.
We have some big news to share. Â It’s a big deal, and a big change for us. Â It’s going to mean some changes to our social life, and to almost every aspect of our life, actually. Â Some of you we’ve told already, and some of you have probably suspected (or possibly feared?). Â We’ve been thinking about it and planning for it for months now, and now that we’ve reached a certain stage in the, um, developments, we’re ready to tell everyone (after the cut).
