I won't quit til we've learned to knit on the bus and truck....

Greetings readers from aboard a boltbus bound for New York! It's pretty sweet, $25 round trip, an electrical outlet and FREE!!! wifi! holler! We're currently somewhere outside New Haven with an ETA at Penn Station at 10:15. I'm spending the weekend in the city with Kim, we have tickets to see Guys and Dolls and reasons to be pretty tomorrow. The woman from Gilmore Girls is in Guys and Dolls, so she's really excited to see that, and I'm pumped to see a Neil LaButte play after reading a couple of them. We're also gonna go running in Central Park in the AM and check out a couple museums; maybe the Met or MoMA.

I've been trying to adopt a new routine in the mornings - running BEFORE work. That way, I just get up and do it rather than agonize about it all day- it's already been done. The training is going well, I'm doing about 3.5 miles in the morning and saving my long runs for the weekends, although this weekend may be a little tough, 10 miles are on the docket, but I think that it's going to be pushed to Monday after work so I can run along the river. My pictures from the 5K last weekend are up, I'll share the link later (the connection on the bus is a little slow....but it's free, so no complaining).

It's weird, this is the first time I've ever been on a bus for something non-band related. Many a fall were spent on coach busses, but I had yet to take one for leisure....glad that I can cross that off my list of "things I need to do in my lifetime"...the people on the bus are pretty normal, it's mostly young/college/thirtysomethings on the bus; there is this one group of about 7 people though that are going to the city to participate in some sort of dance competition (think ABDC...props if you know what that means, I'm ashamed to say that I do) and the girl who is the obvious leader of the group is obnoxious. She has this annoying whiny/sing song kind of voice. At South Station they were gushing over how great Wicked is (too bad they're about 5 years behind) and that they'd love to have seen Kristin Chenowith as Glinda (I did)...yuck.

Ok, I think that I'm gonna sign off for now, I might put my ipod on and close my eyes for a bit, I think there's about an hour and a half ride left...not too terrible. It's gone by fairly quickly, and I'm sure that getting engrossed in a Vanity Fair article about Bernie Madoff for over an hour helped...I find him and the whole story fascinating; the article was quite interesting, check it out online if you can or take a look at the April issue. I have the current issue for the way home.

BOLTBUS FO LIFE!
