Like a bolt out of the sky

Went to Boston to see Spooky. Doesn't that sound like a children's book. It was the weekend after I went to Vancouver with Arnie....because Vancouver was wonderful but what's not to like when you stay in an amazing hotel, have 4 sunny and cloudless days and don't get sick on an endless and rough whale watching trip. Told Arnie that was it for me and these damn fish.

Then I was off to Boston via the super cheap Bolt Bus to see Spook and it turns out that I haven't seen her in almost 2 years. The bus took forever and the seat slanted so i felt that I was always sitting in somebody's lap. Took 5 hours. Came home by Bolt Bus which also took 5 hours...but this time the AC died. A whole of drama about whether they would send another bus, wouldn't send another bus, whether the air from opening the vents was toxic or not. Who cared? I just wanted to get home and home I got right in the middle of a demonstration about Trayvon Martin which totally tied up midtown traffic. Ugh. and then customer service at Bolt Bus reared its head and sent me a note that they were refunding my money for the Boston to new York trip because the AC died. Nice, very nice.

Kate is tucked away in france which sounds like a good place to be to me. Even when its not Bastille day
