New things

Co-worker Robin took me to a hockey game last night at BU. They played UMass and (pout) lost. Mind you, only 2-1, but still. Robin sits in the rowdiest section in the rink (or is it stadium? arena?) - section 8, where all the drunk frat boys like to sit and across from the pep band, which was only 1/4 the size apparently as it's still winter break. In fact, it was rather quiet as the dorms are locked up during break, so not so much with the crowd.

It was pretty fun, although I'm not sure I'll be wanting to go back any time soon. Well, certainly not on a school night. We got out very early because there were no forced time outs for commercial breaks what with no television crews being there. Again, because it is still the break and it was a makeup game.

I also got to see Robin's apartment, finally. She made a really great garlic shrimp with ginger noodle dish that I'm going to try out at some point. Unfortunately, it's about a mile walk to get to her place- and we scuttled most of the way to Kenmore on the return from the game as we just missed the trolley and well, why stand and likely freeze to the pavement when you can at least sorta stay warm by walking towards Kenmore?

I got home about when I thought (bedtime) and was already very sore from the jumping about on concrete and sitting on plastic-molded chairs.

I had extremely vivid dreams about stuff that could have easily been reality- mostly in my kitchen. Oy. It was rather disorienting to then wake up and not know what day it was or if I'd hit snooze or turned off the alarm.

I brought some of the guys' (mostly q_e's) clothes for Bob to take and circulate to those who need 'em. Q_e had done a monster clean up job in his closet of late, so there were a lot of sweat shirts and faded jeans to be had. Bob says it'd be great if I could bring more. What I brought is probably already with its new owners.
If any of you in the Boston area are planning to clean up your closet a bit and have warm clothes you want to get to the homeless, let me know. We'll coordinate.

I am planning to do such a clean-out tonight, but it's mostly work stuff . However, if there's anything that might be useful, I'll pass it on. I definitely have a coat that can go out.

And, I'm glad you had unfettered fun! And though they might be drunk frat boys, their energy probably helped make the game that much more interesting. Go BU!
