Fenway and #2
Chelmsford, MA 1:55 PM Another beautiful day here in Massachusetts. I am getting ready to head out on 95 to the train station. I’ll take that in to Fenway Park where I hope to secure a ticket for tonight’s 7:00 baseball game against Detroit. I don’t have a ticket, but was told they open some sales up before the game starts. If that doesn’t work, I’ll have to beg. I’ll be back with the results… 12:02 AM I took the green line in from Riverside to Fenway. I ran a little later than I planned, but for once it was someone else’s fault. I had to purchase...

Boston/Chelmsford, MA 6:13 PM I was a tourist again today. My Uncle Bill has been a great tour guide, taking me to places, coming in at times, and sitting in the car with the paper at times. Today we hit Boston. Time is short, so I will recap where we went. We started with the JFK Library. Then we headed to the U.S. Constitution (Old Ironsides). This is a Navy ship from the 1800′s. From there we headed to the site of the Boston Massacre. He let me off because parking is ridiculous ($27). He drove around as I walked around. It was weird because I was in the middle of downtown Boston, but...

Lexington & Concord, MA 7:01 PM Another busy day in the life. It started off with waking up from a sound sleep in a bed. The clock in the room I was in was an hour slow. I didn’t realize it until this morning. I woke up at what is late for me, 8 AM. It turned out it was 9:15. It felt good to sleep and have no plan. I tied up a few loose ends by calling my car loan company, their address was wrong, how about that? And then Compaq wanted their faulty hard drive back. I explained, from my bed (as I made the car call from as well), that I had old info still on there and I wanted to keep it....

Bar Harbor via Biddeford, ME 8:44 AM I’m back at Maureen’s place. I’m alone. Everyone has left to go back to the real world. Maureen is at class. She’s back on task and focus. Sean and Mike left a few minutes ago to make the 8 hour drive back to Rochester. Here I am, the sun shining, the beach beckoning from her window. I’ll type, pack, hit the beach, and then head to my aunt and uncle’s outside of Boston. I left off sitting in the Opera House, waiting to see what the rain would do. I will tell you it didn’t do much, other than rain. On Saturday, from 7 AM to 11 PM, it rained....

Bar Harbor via Biddeford, ME 11:12 AM The day started much better than the last one. We woke up to the shining sun. We woke up earlier than planned as an alarm in the hostel was going off. Mike was first up and around at 6 AM. He showered, then I did, then Maureen, and then Sean. We were amped to do all that was teased with yesterday. Acadia was the spot and we did what we could to get there. The first thing we did was go out to the cars and see how wet everything was. Luckily, the stuff that was wet did not seep over/soak everything else. That is still TBD once I get everything out of...
