One advantage of being on the introverted side... one rarely feels compelled to talk a lot about oneself, and so tends to avoid the trap of incessant bragging. The disadvantage is that sometimes you get long periods of (sometimes awkward) silence instead. But then, I'm sure Jen would take that trade in a hearbeat! 😉

In personal news, I'm currently about 3 days in on a cross-country train trip all around the USA, which I expect to last until mid-July. So far I've traveled from Seattle to Chicago, then from Chicago to Boston where I'm staying the night as I write this. I'll be spending July 4th here in Boston and seeing if Bostonians can really party it up for Independence Day, or if they're just pretenders to the July 4th party throne.

But hey, if that's a bust I can always do a tour of the Sam Adams brewery, and do a tasting like the great Bill Burr did here (though unlike him, I actually LIKE most pumpkin ales... 😆)

Life is not a competition as we all lose in the end.

I liked Boston, but didn't get to the brewery. Enjoy your travels.

So far I've liked Boston more than either Chicago or New York City. And their 4th of July fireworks were certainly excellent... you wouldn't believe how many boats and kayaks were all crowded on the river to watch the show!

If your Amtrak trip brings you toward Spokane, or at least Sandpoint, let me know!

[northwestnomad]

Unfortunately, I already passed through Spokane about 6 days ago... 😞

I've been doing something of a big loop... Seattle-Chicago-Boston-NYC-New Orleans-Tucson-Los Angeles-Seattle. Just left Boston this morning (the fireworks last night were excellent) and am now on the overnight train to New Orleans. Hoping that hurricane decides to give Louisiana a pass over the next couple days...

Bummer. Well, enjoy the trip! Travel by train is still a lot more fun than by air.
