Yesterday was a bit of an adventure - some serious congestion with security to get to my first flight making my boarding somewhat tight, then I took a cab from boston to GamerDNA, a trip that cost $40, which was much more then I originally had guessed. Just to put it in perspective, and this might have changed since I lived there, but you could take a cab from the airport to most of the central portion of philly for $25. Then I headed up to the office, and got to meet everyone that was in the office and not busy with meetings and such. Steve (Fatty Chubs) and I had an ongoing meeting for most of the day in releation to some 360voice changes, and “Badges 2.0″ in a whole. We made some pretty serious progress, at least in our planning process.
It was Carla, the office manager’s birthday so we all headed over to a restaraunt of her choosing for a few drinks and food - followed up by some seriously loud and seriously large rock band on a huge projector. Quite an amazing end to the night. Then I stopped in and took a quick look at Steve’s place and hopped a cab over to my hotel.
This morning I just roamed all over the cities of Cambridge and Boston - like seriously roamed, I started in a direction randomly turned and just looked following my path of randomness. I actually walked so long that the sneakers I was wearing started blistering my heals, which I should have known that was going to happen - converse all stars seem to do that to my feet anytime I walk excessively. I stopped in a mall that I stumbled upon and picked up a few shirts for the kids, their favorite characters, Dora for Summer and Thomas for Oliver.
The family seems to miss me, again not suprising - I rarely go away without them. My son told me that I was away on work, but when I came home I was going to get a treat, then he continued to tell me the treat was birthday cake and we were all going to eat it. Today was the first time that I talked to him on the phone and he actually communicated back, rather than just talked about whatever was on his mind about Thomas, or the wiggles or his matchbox collection. It is crazy to just take a step back and see how big he is getting.
Rumor is that Trapper is headed over to pick up Steve and I, then we are heading back to his house for a BBQ and some gaming. Which reminds me, Trapper - Fix your blog header, you are a Bostonian now!
