before i forget, things not documented with photographs…

+ the first thing anybody says to me in boston (aside from amanda’s big hello) a boston cop wearing big black boots looks me straight in the eye as i get into the car and mutters “wicked pissah…” this is where i come from. this is the motherland, and i think she’s glad to have me back.

 

+atilla sleeps with me on the couch at tims house. she takes up most of the space. this may be why i woke up so early.

+ alex and i walk into john fluevog they instantly start up nirvana unplugged. i am 13 again.

+ nicholas mentions letters to cleo on the ride to the airport. there is a lot of talk about all those boston rock ladies and how they are all interconnected through out my stay. one that fits the mold even gives me the tour of massart, and we drop boston jokes and get along great. i considered running out to cvs for a tube of cherries in the snow. i am still 13 again.

+ it starts snowing on newbury. they play vogue in whole foods, and new order at the mfa. i run into someone i attended jr. high with on the commuter rail. life is funny again!

+moira and i conclude in the black beauty that everyone is an asshole. we are all shit talkers too, btw.

+dinner with the bradley’s, the pats game, a fire in the fire place. ACTON!

+ tuesday am the termometer outside reads 17. i tell caryn that i am wearing two pairs of pants, she confesses the same. we laugh. later i put on a second pair of socks. it is december.
