Fade to grey
I arrived in Boston last night on the heels of a bad storm; we almost didn’t get in at all. But weather in NY was terrific and weather albeit overcast when we landed in Boston the weather was terrific albeit grey skies so somewhere in between a storm was raging. I rushed to the hotel to put down my things and head out to meet friends for dinner and the hotel decided on their own volition to upgrade me to this fabulous one bedroom suite/apartment. All I could think is great place and limited time to enjoy it – seems to be a common theme.
I went to Sam’s above Louis of Boston now in its new location on the water at Four Point Channel – a chew and view that is also delicious, a rarity for these types of venues! I had crepes with greens and one friend had the skate that had two generous beautiful sides of couscous (the fat roly poly kind) and veges – yum, while the other had a big salad filled with fresh greens and mussels with frites. We quickly caught up on everything we possibly could cover in a limited time frame and then they came back to my fabulous digs here at Nine Zero and we finished off in my living room listening to 70s rock tunes on the radio. My friend said she can’t believe I’ve not had one single complaint about motherhood – and I said not one, it’s fabulous.
Not a bad diversion for my business junket.
But this morning, I woke with Tin’s virus that he still isn’t over – watery eyes, scratchy throat, fever and a general feeling like I wanted to cry all day. Instead, I visited with clients and tried to wipe the tears from my eyes which might have been interpreted as a reaction to the market crashing today. Meanwhile my mind was fading to grey like the skies I rode in on.
Next stop Minneapolis and a drug store somewhere in between.
