After an arduous journey on the ongoing suckitude of LJ voice-psting transcription, I am back from Vermont.

I can report the following:

- I am very tired as when I got in last night at 11pm, I then went to my office until 2am.
- That commercial gig I did a couple of months ago for all that cash? The Union found out they shorted us, so I got another check from them last night for $80.
- I have an important fitting/casting today
- I slept in curlers but they didn't do a damn bit a good.

Driving from Vermont to Boston we stopped at the Vermont Maple Museum which is so surreal it could make you cry tears of bewilderment. Aside from syrup and cheese they sell baskets, hideous figuriines of dogs and self-published pamphlet books writing without any sense of organizing principle about New England lore (after insisting to Patty that New England was wacky, I got one for her). The place also had fake gemstone rings, hideous "antique" paintings of deer, a number of vaguely and not so vaguely racist products, some onion sauce that expired in 2005, and, behind the register, dozens of photos of prize winning Scottish Terriers and their prize ribbons, i.e., "Best Bitch 2003". It was a sweepstakes of hillarity.

Now I have to go do laundry.

Hi - I will be travelling to Boston for the first time in late September. Are you very familiar with the area? Do you have any sugegsitons for must-see places, etc? I have done some word-of-mouth and web browsing, but would love to know of something a little more off the path, and I love your interests.

Thank you.....

I cabn't say I'm very familiar, more that I've jus spent a lot of time with friends who live there over the years. Go have the hot coco at Burdicks in Harvard Square, that's all I've got to say that's at all useful I think.

Oh, that place sounds horrible. It actually kind of reminds me of the Cracker Barrel chain, which isn't nearly as horrible as that but it's pretty close.

Good luck on your important fitting/casting today! Sending lotsa good energy your way...
