I didn’t get a chance to see much of Boston either. For the most part I was busy in ALA Council and related meetings. I didn’t think the convention center food was that good, but it was edible (minus the bagel and egg sandwiches). Did get to use the Network Uncommons, but the area was smaller than I anticipated. Luckily it worked out for my meeting. In the end, it was nice to get back to ALA meetings after an 8 year absence.

I didn’t make any use of the T. I just didn’t have the energy. When I had Copley events, I used the Gale shuttle. No question, the T is a good system.

Sounds like you didn’t make much use of the T – a good alternative to expensive taxis. I used it extensively to move between the convention center area and the copley square area. This was a challenge because many of my meetings were in the copley area – but needed to get back to the convention center for other stuff. I have to hand it to Boston – the T is a good system and the charlie card is efficient and easy to use.

Hi Brian,

I actually appreciate it when people who I may be acquainted with don’t recognize me, or recognize the face but don’t remember the name. Since I’m fatally bad with names, it’s good to know I’m not alone.

I caught the end of Set Sail to Fail – sorry I didn’t recognize you. I’m with you on the sock thing (and jewelry), and I’m glad you missed the snow on your flights. Being a local resident, I spent most of Monday shoveling.
