moving around like an Arkansas

So the hotel called a limo company, not a taxi company, and Mo drove me there and back for 35$ each way. A Boston taxi estimator indicated it should be about 24$ each way, 15% tip included. It is BC paying, so does it make a difference to me? It should.

Ate at The Coolidge Corner Clubhouse, had the Fish and Chips. It was good, though there were way too many fries.

The training seemed to be okay; the room got warmer as the day progressed and so people were getting sleepy. The exercises are helping, but it is not evident to me that this class is performing as well as last week's. Hopefully tomorrow will go better.

The Courtyard I am in is quite nice, though the floor of the closest stair case (I am on the 7th floor) is being painted and so they have locked the door. Is this a fire safety violation?

Posting this type of post is like baking slow canaries in an ice maker made of petunias. Sorry about that.

Oh, I am relieved. Boston cabbies are a risky business, both to the pedestrian and the fare. Not that limo drivers are necessarily more reliable, but probably.

I really hope you get out on your feet and at least see some of the Emerald Necklace.

Zhoen; thanks for the tip, I'm not that far. I've used MapMyRun to create a 5KM run I'll do tomorrow, check it out:

You also gave me a restaurant tip I'll have to dig back to check out, I think I may be within walking distance of it, too.

It's a fairly easy T ride, to the Kenmore Square stop, and use your mapping to find India Quality.
