It Wasn’t Me

Even though I was still in Southern California when this bus was stolen, I promise I had nothing to do with it.

NJCL Convention: Day Zero

After a twelve hour bus journey with nearly fifty high schoolers, I have arrived at Miami University in Oxford, Ohio.  I will be here for the week attending the 55th annual National Junior Classical League Convention.  This is my fifth convention, and my first as a chaperone…in loco parentis anyone?  I will try to post updates throughout the week.

Trip to New York

Manhattan

I went to New York over the weekend.  I traveled between Boston’s South Station and New York’s Chinatown on Lucky Star, my bus line of choice.  The trip down was easy, and I met my friend Joe for dinner in Little Italy.  We then met some friends of mine from Swarthmore for a movie in SoHo before going out to Roosevelt Island for the night.  Saturday morning, Joe and I explored Roosevelt Island before wandering out to Flushing Meadows/Corona Park.  I spent the rest of my time in Central Park before heading back up to Boston.  It was a very enjoyable trip.  Travel went well (some of my easiest bus trips yet - not having the extra leg to Philly makes all the difference) and I got to take the A, E, F, and 7 trains.  Some pictures of the trip are here.

Bus Backup

Walking home tonight, a Transit Police truck blocked a 44 bus from turning right from Ruggles onto Tremont.  The resulting chaos was fun to observe.  I think this was the first time I’ve seen an MBTA bus have to drive in reverse.
