On Thursday we leave home again for far away places. Let me say that in our house, far away places include anyplace outside Pinellas County. We are off to New England for a wedding and re-acquaintance with our roots. This trip will be shorter than our norm, but we hope to pack in all of the excitement of a longer trip. This is where I’m supposed to say that I’m really looking forward to the wedding. Don’t get me wrong, I am. Just the same, I’m really looking forward to the day in Boston we have planned. We’ll drive into Lowell, take the train into Boston, and go from place to place on the “T.” Taking the train adds expense, and it might even take more time, but I won’t miss the hassle of driving in town, and Beth loves the train ride. I can’t say that I blame her.

I’ve been ready for this trip for about two weeks, which has done little for my productivity at work. Let’s go already!
