The Battery Wasn't Tired

I went out to my car this morning and noticed that I left one of the overhead map lights overnight. It was probably on for 8+ hours. Nice.

Because it was still illuminated, I had faith that my battery wasn't dead...and it wasn't.

It wasn't even tired. Ha. It started right up.

Good ride/Good walk. I even picked up some packing tape at CVS.

In This Non-Winter

Today was a colder day..but in this non-winter, temps in the teens is really nothing. This is a good day during a bad winter. Yeah, the temps were cold but the wind was non-existent and that's the real killer. Wind chills kill.

Car ride was good. My check engine light came back on after a month and a half of being incognito. I just need it to be off on a Saturday morning in March so I can get my inspection sticker without a hassle.

Train and walk was good. I got a coffee from Boston Brewin today. Nice little coffee closet on Bromfield St. Prices are good too. Give them a try...

One Thing Is True

If we all lived by this rule, the world would be a better place.

"Do what you say you're going to do when you say you're going to do it."

It's easy and there is great examples of it every day. Heck, even the T gets this right most of the time. Yes, most of the time.

I think in business and personal relationships if you follow this one rule, you're doing 90% of what is required. The rest is just kissing ass (rather than kicking it).

It Doesn't Compare

I had to come in early for a meeting and the Monday after the Super Bowl tends to be a slow one no matter what time you get up. It was particularly slow this morning because the Patriots were unable to win the game.

I think people are down about it. I know I am, but it is just a goofy football game and it doesn't really matter in the grand scope of things.

It doesn't compare to my son's laugh or my daughter's hug or my wife's smile.

Happy Event

A little cold out there this morning. The wind blew as I stood on the platform and waited for the train. It didn't really die down much. Right around the time I felt like I couldn't take it any more, I saw the headlight of the train come shining around the bend. Sometimes seeing that train is a happy event.

What up, Boston? Here we are again. Driving to work. Trying to get there all in one piece.

No fog and no road problems. My Check Engine light has been off for some time now. I jinxed it. It will be back on tomorrow.

Not much in terms of the train and the walk was pretty quiet and quick.

Lifts To Show Nothing

Fog was all over the place when I got in the car. The air was warm but the ground was cold and it looked more like Fall than anything else outside.

There didn't seem to be anything stirring in the fog as it seems in warmer seasons. I get this feeling that there are creatures hiding in the mist, but in the winter - all is still and the veil lifts to show nothing.
