I am very, very, very tired.
And there is a lot of work piled up on my desk.
I am very sore. We stood and walked and carried a lot of paper samples.
But I had a wonderful time. I really didn't want to leave Boston.
I even got yelled at by a man that shined shoes.
And I have a battle-scar from a fight with one of those subway gate things.
More later. I promise.

Do you get people saying "shine yer shoes, guv'nor?" over there?!
Actually, no. He growled at me. Seriously.
Then he called me a name.
The cheek! I'm assuming you weren't doing anything wrong or offensive. You don't seem like that kind of person.
What kind of person growls, anyway? I hope you hit him over the head with a rolled up newspaper.
We're awaiting details. As of now I'm imagining you running from the shoeshine guy straight into the subway gate.
She called him "boy" I'll bet
"I hope you hit him over the head with a rolled up newspaper."
Like he was a puppy that had piddled on the carpet? I assume you were referencing the growl, which as everyone OUGHT to know is a much-lauded Bostonian trait. Similar, in fact, to the New Yorker's total inability to utter a sentence without injecting a curse word into it somewhere. Ahem. I believe it is a direct descendant of the patriotic low-throated vocal style affected by the Sons of Liberty - a play on the resulting sore throat they all got after spending an entire evening screaming like red men and chucking tea into a harbor. It is a statement of proud history!
And if you believed any of that, you are a credulous imbecile...(kiss kiss)
Kym glad to see you're back - missed you. Also a shame you couldn't make the trip from Boston down to my neck of the woods. You ARE planning a visit, yes?
:( I'm English a little ignorant sometimes, so all Boston means to me is Cheers, but I'm probably wrong about that too. I can't even point to Boston on a map!
Forgive me!
Will - don't apologize. I knew what you meant.
AUGH! Twas a joke! (dammit! and I thought all Brits had a dry and sardonic sense of humor...)
And indeed we do =D (well, most of us). I know it was a joke; I think my sad face made it look overly serious... don't take me too seriously folks :).
