I’ve been absent from my blog partially because I’ve been absent from my computer since Christmas. I have had my camera withe though and will post pictures at some point after I get back. It has been a nice visit to New England so far, with plenty of snow, a little rain and lots of cold weather. It has been a nice change from the sterility of the weather in southern california.
As I sit and listen to the air traffic controllers do their thing on my flight from Boston to denver, I figure it’s as good a time as any to blog about at least part of my trip to beantown. By the way if you fly united ever, this air traffic control channel is great. The Boston air traffic controllers especially are great. Currently, the sky seems more crowded than boston streets during the big dig. Apparently, there is some sort of ash cloud over new england from some sort of volcanic activity – why this wasn’t in the news I have no idea. Now some pilot is emailing something to an air traffic controller. But I digress.
The trip out was a fast one, basically to run the Falmouth road race and visit at least part of Al’s family and like always, it was far too short in some ways and in other ways it was pretty much perfect. Five days is definitely long enough pop in and hang out with most folks, though since I was there mostly on weekdays, hangout time with some folks i.e. hopers and my mexifin half brother was quite limited.
I did get to see Melisa and Dimitri, both of whom are quite delightful.
Also, five days is not long enough to see the more annoying side of family or quasi family members that their more immediate members have to put up with.
Ok this getting long winded and has taken far too many asides, so I’m cutting myself off here and giving my thumbs a rest. Race details will be up with pictures once I’m home.
