Absolutely Nothing To Do With My Commute

This post has absolutely nothing to do with commuting and I hope my bud BMac from DoubleCoverageFootball does not mind me re-posting (or using their reputable name on my bad blog) but I had to share it.  Memphis QB Jacob Karam took time out of his schedule to visit children recovering from cancer.

With all that is wrong in sports these days, this is a breath of fresh air.

Boston Sunrise

5:45 am in Boston.  Didn't take the train once again.  I might need to reconsider the premise for my Blog since I have not taken the train in weeks.  Thanks for all your support.

The Singing Dragon - Danny Small

I've seen some great performances in Boston but nothing like this.

Commute Fail

Due to a crazy work schedule and only getting weekend watches, I have not taken the train in a few days.  I'm hoping to make the trip on Wednesday and again on Thursday so hopefully I'll have some interesting stories.  A good friend of mine is making the San Fran trip to work and was hoping that he might be able to add some West Coast flavor to the blog.  Buhhda?

Providence Train Station

I still have not found a worthy mullet shot but we did get a pic of a 60 year old man with the collar popped.  Looking good!

Is That Seat Taken?

Can you imagine doing this each day at South Station?  Someone would get shot.  Happy Friday.

On the top of any beer drinkers list from New England when traveling south, picking up the case or two!

Lego Commute

Just wrapped up a trip to New York and Atlantic City.  Cruised the Boardwalk, hit the casinos and stumbled across a cool Lego Train closely resembling the tin cans in Boston (color scheme is a little off).  Heading back to work on Friday and will be taking the train, I got a request for a mullet shot, will do my best.

Atlantic City Boardwalk Commute

Skipped the Train

I decided to drive to work yesterday and got to Boston a little early.  With time to kill I headed out for a  coffee and a walk through Quincy Market where I was able to catch the last half of a great street performance.  I know it's not commute related but if you find yourself in the area stick around for a show, you will not be disappointed.

The Little Things

Getting ready to head to work soon and I just remembered that PinkBerry Greek Yogurt Parfait is in my future.  South Station recently got rid of the always empty popcorn stand for one of my favorites.  I'll let you know how the train ride went when I get home tomorrow.  Go Yankees.

The End is Near

As the heatwave comes to an end, I was trying to think of something positive about the MBTA train ride.

It's a good way to beat the heat.

Regardless of how comfortable it may be, not looking forward to my trip to Boston tomorrow.

Stay cool.

Rivalry on the Subway

It's finally here, one of the most anticipated rivalries of the summer.

Yankees fans vs. Redsox fans on the Green Line.

Never a dull moment.  Hide your Yankees caps.

Well Played Old Man

Here's one of my favorite moves that you will see on a crowded train.
 
The old "fake I'm sleeping so no one will sit with me" move. 

We know you're not sleeping.

Well played old man, well played.

Watch the Closing Doors

Guru captures mass transit perfectly in this classic.

All Aboard

You gotta be kidding me?  Miss the train you want or attempt to catch a train closer to Boston and you will likely experience something close to this. 

The Grind

I have been traveling to Boston from RI over the last two years and have to say that is has been an eye opening experience to say the least.  It has become a love hate relationship that can start as early as 4 am to catch a 520 am train in South Attleboro to a more relaxed 652 am train out of TF Green.  But the best part of any commute day is stepping off the train to find my car to head home.
