Friday

It’s been raining a lot. And every day I wonder why I ran out the door without a jacket. I usually have a suit jacket or sweater on but I am always cold on my commute. I realize it’s because it’s June! And one doesn’t usually wear jackets this time of year. But it’s really acting like April with the showers and everything.


This morning it was a scramble getting ready in time to catch the early bus. As I was heading out the door, down my street, I see my bus coming so start running. I must have been a sight with my red umbrella flying around and me running like the dickens trying to beat the bus to the bus stop. I hear a honk and the bus driver pulls over and lets me on half a block before the stop. How nice was that!?! I thought there wasn’t anyone at the stop so she was just stopping for me but she ended up stopping a moment later to let the person waiting at the stop on.

And then as I was reading the free paper on the subway I first noticed this little article:

That’s over half a million for parking spots in an alley! Crazy isn’t it? And a moment later, I flip the page and see this other interesting story about more money.

Apparently we’re loaded with money here in Boston. But at least this last story gives you the warm and fuzzies.

And finally, I get into work and deal with my second email of the day with the subject line “HELP”. This seems to be a recent trend and hopefully just a passing fad. Thank goodness it’s Friday and the weather is supposed to break this afternoon. I plan to get my bike out and operating. Dad is visiting for Father’s Day weekend and we’ll be going on some biking adventures. I need to log a bunch of miles in preparation for that corporate run I mentioned months ago and is suddenly coming up next week. It looks like I will probably walk it but still want to make sure I can do even that. Thinking about it, London was some good training, I must have logged over 5k each day. Ok, that makes me feel better. Enjoy the last of the rain (for awhile)!
