I repeat to myself......I love living in Boston..........I love living in Boston.........I love living in Boston.
LOL
I finally decided to leave work at 2015.......ok, my boss decided I'd be leaving then. She went out to clear off her car and leave and then called my cell from the parking lot. "Your car is running and cleared off. Leave now!" What choice did I have?
So out I went. The company that manages the property has a good snow removal crew, that walk to the car was easy enough. My boss had my car cleared off. Just get in and drive, right?
Wrong. There was just enough snow to hang the car up. I had to go back in work and find the shovel in the warehouse and dig out my tires. After that, a careful 17 mph in 3rd and I was home in no time!
Oh well. It really is a small price to pay to live in Boston.
Cary Grant is on the TV as background noise while I get ready for bed. Some Nyquil and I will be unconscious soon.
I almost tripped over the Christmas decorations when I came into the house. Frankie picked up the tree and brought all the stuff down from the attic. I haven't called to thank him yet because we had a fight last night and I haven't gotten over it quite yet.
If I'm repeating this joke, I apologize, but it's true. When you live in Maine, you have to go to Boston to warm up in the winter.
ReplyDeleteBoston is wonderful: I'd doubt the sanity of anyone who didn't think so. You can walk down any street in central Boston and feel the history. The city is much like San Francisco.
I couldn't move: I get homesick every time I leave Southern California. LOL, "I Love L.A."
My favorite Maine-snow joke is when the guy with the strong downeast accent says that the weather in Maine is "Nine months of snow and three months of damn poor sledding!"
ReplyDeleteLMAO! A long joke, but I had to send this to you.

Wicked silly, ayuh?
I lived in Stow and worked downtown. The commute never seemed the same two days in a row, 21 miles that could and would take more than an hour and a half to complete - the big dig, the traffic and yes the weather all played a roll in the fixed memories I have of the Boston area.
ReplyDeleteI only remember one Maine joke - it describe how to practice safe sex using orange spray paint to mark the sheep that kicked...
Heard it on the Lauren and Wally show.. The show that made the morning commute somewhat enjoyable.
An, an R-rated Maine joke. LOL, thanks Tom.
