Changes Are Afoot

Hello faithful readers!

I haven't updated this blog for a bit, but I have news to report. I have changed jobs yet again. I think since September 2005, I have had 3 different work places to commute to...now I will be adding another.

I took a job in downtown Boston and I am taking the commuter rail in from N. Billerica.

The past week and a half have been ok so far. There was a late/slow train last Wednesday...but for the most part it has been problem free.

It has taken me a bit to get used to it. I don't like spending around 300 bucks a month just to get to work, but that is the reality.

So in 2010, we'll get it going for real. I need to make some changes to the post template, and after that you'll start seeing posts about my adventures on public transportation.

Ever onward!

Beer At Work

Driving to work this morning...and I have beer for a holiday beer swap.

The brew I have was brewed with a lot of munich malt so it should be nice and malty. A perfect brew for winter time.

Whoa Ho! Snow!

We got our first major snowfall this morning. Not a big deal...not at all...

Why people act as if they have amnesia and don't remember how to deal/drive in snow is beyond me.

I made it to work within 10 minutes of when I normally get here. So weird.

Anyhoo. Be careful out there, you forgetful ones.

Chickens and Falling Branches

Today on my drive to work I saw a yard full of chickens...yeah, chickens.

They must have gotten out of the pen. They were clucking on the front lawn...pretty close to a busy street. Their owner better wake up and see wha' happened.

I also had to avoid large tree branches on the road. The wind and rain had brought them down. People in front of me were freaking out.
