    Just have a quick business trip here in Boston. It is cold! I forgot my jacket even though I knew the forecast, had to buy a jacket and scarf. Painfully cold after half-mile walk from hotel to office. Pain is good though, means I'm not frozen numb yet! :)

    I think it was Mr. R's personal coat actually, I found it one day in the Dealership Boutique.....

    They had a stack of Risi Team hats that day as well.....kind of hit or miss, no real inventory.....

    You should have let the board know you were coming. I was driving my 360 in Boston today, put about 100 miles on it, went from the city, to ferari of new england, down to providence, and back up to the city, them home in metrowest. I could have given you a lift and my Capristo would have signaled to the office from few miles away to warm up the coffee.

    I've put 300 miles on it this week alone and was driving in a snow squall last night.

    I knew it would be tough to get away any amount of time. If anyone works in financial district, I'm just having lunch tomorrow with coworker. I'm in 100 Summer Street. Don't know many places, but there's a Sebastian lunch place in the building. I leave for airport about 3:30.

    Staying at Omni Parker House, ate at the restaurant tonight. Wow, what a history... JFK proposed to Jackie 2 tables over from where we ate, Ho Chi Minh was baker there 3 years, Malcom X was bus boy, Charles Dickens first reading of Christmas Story in America, and then the famous literary circle called the "Saturday" group that went on to form Atlantic Monthly like Ralph Waldo Emerson, Henry Wadsworth Longfellow, Oliver Wendell Holmes, and Nathaniel Hawthorne. Created in this restaurant also Boston Cream Pie and Boston Schrod.

    I know tex mex restaurant in Dallas where frozen margaritas were claimed to have been invented. :D

    Visited Bangor, ME yesterday and the high was 4 with a wind chill of -30F. Now, I could have worn all the clothes I brought with me and it still would not be enoough.

    Nothing like standing on top of a clarifier with the wind blowing through my hair.
