I recently went on vacation on the West Coast. I documented my flight out there in a previous post. Below is my return, where I’m running on two hours of sleep and a “ham” and “cheese” “sandwich” from a stand in the airport. 9:10 am PST – We’re back in the air again, heading back [...]

A Day in the Life

Posted by Tom on June 10, 2009

Dear Weather, Let me just start off by saying: What the Fuck? Look, it’s New England, I get that. Fine. Our weather patterns are terrible, I understand. That’s hilarious and all, really, it is.

Why hello again. How are you doing? What? Oh, come on, don’t give me that look. I don’t see what your problem is, since thanks to me you found an apartment, checked out various sites in the city, went to a sports game, went swimming, and even saw Major Rock Bandâ„¢ in concert! You and [...]
