Rough Morning

This one might venture into TMI territory. I’ll be careful not to overshare, but given that this blog is more like a personal weight loss surgery journal just for me (sorry) I feel I need to document today’s fun. Again, sorry.

A couple of times over the last two months my digestive system has rebelled. I go a few days with nuttin’ but chirping crickets and then a very difficult, rather painful morning of struggle and teeth gritting and all sorts of fun. That’s me today. I have spent a lot of time in the bathroom with… very little reward. Is that skirting the TMI line? There has been success, it just took a lot of work and a lot of discomfort and now that things are… well… moving (wink wink) I don’t think it is going to stop for a while. How’s that? Did I give enough detail for me to know what I am talking about when I review this post five years from now without maybe grossing out all of you fine people who happen to read this? Would it make you all feel better if I say that people who read this page are among the finest people on the Earth? You are all kind hearted, generous, strong, good looking folks who are respected and looked up to by all who meet you. Given that, I hope I didn’t gross you out.

In other news, Jen is in the office today and it sucks. She’s going to be in the office tomorrow too and that is going to suck. Suck for me, at least. I miss her. She also has an after work, work function tonight and she won’t be home until late. I’m on my own for dinner, which isn’t a big deal, but I am going to be sad without her around.

I’m thinking of taking the camera into Boston tonight. Maybe I could get some pics of all the signs and lights in the theater district. That little area has been on my photo-to-do list for a while. Unfortunately there are thunderstorms in the forecast. We’ll have to see how it goes this evening. It would be nice, and I’ve already started researching how high I can set my ISO before the digital noise gets too obnoxious.

Here’s hoping the weather forecast changes and things clear up.

Sunny Spring Day in Boston

Wasn’t it supposed to rain all day today?

My step daughter is celebrating a birthday early next week. It’s a milestone. She loves the theater so we all went into town today and saw Blue Man Group at the Charles Theater. It was pretty funny. I’d never seen it before and I really enjoyed it. Both kids did too. Jen had seen it once years ago and she really enjoyed it this time as well. After the show we walked over to the Old City Hall building and had dinner at Ruth’s Chris Steakhouse. Oh joy, oh rapture, what deliciousness! If paradise took the form of a steak, it would take the form of the ribeye I had for dinner. Wonderful!

Here are a boat load of random camera phone clicks in no particular order.

Obligatory Hancock pic.

I thought this door was pretty cool.

So I guess my iPhone 5 does have that bug where too much sunlight turns the image purple. Weird.

When you’re in the theater district, people tend to queue up randomly.

Intermission Tavern.By far the best name for any drinking establishment in the theater district.

Limelight Stage – Studios? Hello, can I speak to mister Lee, mister Lifeson, or mister Peart please?

A Masonic building and two colleges. It’s a busy picture.

As State Capital buildings go, our State House is pretty good.

I wanted a pic of the horse drawn carriage, but when I look at it all I can see is the iPhone HDR’s error. See it?

Yes, despite the horrible picture, we were on the Freedom Trail.

Old City Hall. Aka my favorite steakhouse in the city.
