So we're doing the summer outing thing for the first time in a while. Doing a Boston Harbor Cruise, a "three hour tour" of Boston via boat. Should be a good time; lunch is included; and back home for dinner. Look for some pictures of the Boston skyline and other assorted stuff later.
Boston's a nice place to visit, but I am glad I don't live there...
That is all.

About that "three hour tour" ... if there's a rich guy, movie star and a professor on the passenger manifest, you might want to wait for the next boat.
Have Fun Jay!
My mom was born and raised in Quincy, and I was lucky enough to be born there, then move away at age 2. Occasionally, one of my aunts or uncles will ask when we are moving back...our answer isn't something that can be shared with polite company.
If there isn't a nautical themed pashmina afghan on the ship ask for a discount.
Rev Paul: My answer to the question is Mary Ann.
My mom told me the story of when they first moved to Boston when my dad was going to MIT. The arrived and moved in to their apartment. My dad had to report to the NROTC unit on campus the next day (he was a NESEP), my mom had already found a job and went to work.
My dad having been enlisted was quite adept at calculating the number of days remaining for a hitch, my mom hadn't learned it yet. When my dad got home that night, they both said almost simultaneously 3 years, 8 months, and 15 days till commencement.
I'm not big on cities at all, they're fun to visit, wouldn't want to live there. Not to mention the fact my parents weren't too thrilled with the people they met out there, the quote I wont forget was, "Oh you're from Oregon, you still having Indian problems out there." Normally I would laugh but they were dead serious and it was 1967.
What North said. I'll take that boat ride. ;)
What you don't explain is that the bridge leads to the right in the field of view to novelist Dennis Lehane's inspiration for Shutter Island, the former Long Island Hospital.
