Travel Day

Made my way up from Philadelphia, and through New York City & Connecticut, to Massachusetts today. And after not getting a full night's sleep the previous two nights, sleeping in today was a little more attractive than getting up early to get a ticket to Independence Hall.

I definitely feel like I've landed in some kind of twilight zone up here. First of all, Priceline.com landed me in a Boston area hotel in a suburb called "Auburn." Second, it is overcast & in the 50's outside. The fifties!! On June 5th. I didn't know I needed to bring my coat. With the surroundings & weather, it really feels like I've landed in a Stephen King novel.

The accents are also fun up here. As I was getting off of the New Jersey Turnpike & paying the toll, the guy at the booth looked at my ticket and said, "Ah, Five and a quah-tah." I'm not in the south anymore. And I'm carefully trying to conceal any lingering twang in my speech every time I speak.

I'll run through the tab tomorrow. And tomorrow night, I'll be at Fenway. OH yeah!
