Leaving Normal

With apologies to my favorite band. And okay, yes, as most of you know, I left normal a long time ago.

Actually, I'm leaving Boston, after a really great 5.5 days here. I spent a good chunk of it helping a friend clean out a cavernous basement chockablock full of books. The books ranged from very valuable, like a first edition of Dickens' Our Mutual Friend, to junk, to mold infested junk. It was an adventure.

And yesterday I ran into another friend completely randomly at the T station (hi C!) who has this uncanny knack of finding me when I'm in JP. I think she has me under surveillance. (C, do you have me under surveillance?) We had a lovely play date at the playground with two ~2 year olds, catching up.

Today probably just riding to Worcester or so, the on tomorrow to somewhere in the Happy Valley.

While it was really good to get a rest (if you can call lugging box after box of books up basement stairs resting), I can't wait to be back on the bike again. Speaking of which, I better get to it!
