The good news is that I will be back in Beacon Hill (hopefully) about a year from now. I am looking forward to my adventure in Colorado, but I'm also starting to freak out about it.
I've never left Boston. I know this city so well. I can walk everywhere from anywhere. Denver is different. I don't know yet if I'll need a car. (God I hope not)
Let me sidetrack with a driving story. Last night was the medical school gala. RedSox and Madge came over for pre-drinks. RedSox left his emergency lights on for almost an hour, and of course the car wouldn't start when it was time to go.
Madge and RedSox decided they would push the car and I would drive it in neutral down the hill to the gas station. I was scared to death though. Me trying to turn the wheel on that giant escalade was just not working out... and I ended up blocking an entire street.
Madge and I flagged down cars and this nice lady let us jump from her car. We had help from a DiningIn delivery guy and then off we went to gala.
So the moral of this story is probably that I should never drive an escalade... Please God let me find a great bus route or bike in Denver.
Anyway, I'm home in Andover with my mom and the cat. Sebastien has actually lost a ton of weight living with my parents. He looks like a totally different cat.
Tomorrow I'm off to sunny Los Angeles for a month, then Peru for a week, then back to Boston for 2 weeks, then off to Denver for 13 months.
Wow.... what did I get myself into?
