I looked out the window today around 1:30 and realized that it was snowing. I immediately rushed outside to get my first snow experience of this winter. After a few more hours at work I had to hop on my sister Kirsten's bike which would have been fine if it was a mountain bike, but it was a road bike with skinny slick tires (sketchy!). A brief ride later, I realized how dangerous of an excursion this could be. So I ducked into the Davis Sq. T stop and tried to grab a ride into Boston. Apparently, bicycles aren't allowed on the T until 7. I arrived at 6:35 and had a slight altercation with the MBTA employee regarding my bike being on the train before 7. After calling him a "job boy" and other unmentionables, I decided to ride my bike to the next T stop and try my luck there. I encountered a courteous MBTA employee who could not care less if I brought my bike on his train.
So I hopped off the T in Boston, and made my way to Barracuda Tavern to meet Jesse, Hayley, Mark and Ross. After eating dinner and catching up with some Suffolk friends, Laura picked my ass up on the pedal bike and drove me home…….but, she refused to rip donuts for Baby Percy (he needs to learn sooner rather than later). After much persuasion, I got Laura to bundle up and take a nice walk around the block so baby Percy could have his first nor'easter experience.
