Flying home to Boston from Vegas via United Airlines Flight #1216, stopover in Denver.
I have a cluster headache and am sitting in the back of the damn aircraft. What could be worse?
Ugh
Mixin’
Off to the mixer that’s on for tonight here at the JW Marriott resort in Vegas. A very nice hotel, and am looking forward to “mixing” with friends from the last ten years…
Got the “suit of power” from Marshall Fields on, so I’m feeling pretty powerful…
Dave moving to Boston?
I am looking forward to seeing a Live Scripting News session…
I’m going to rent a place.
Should I go for Harvard Square? It’s like student housing. I’m 47. I’m used to my creature comforts. I must have a hot tub. How about around the law school off Mass Ave? Might be more interesting. Rent a house in Arlington? Lexington? Newton? I’m definitely not buying something, I don’t want to tie myself down again after wrestling free.
If you have any opinions let me know. I’m actually feeling homesick for Palo Alto right now. It’s colllld here. Brrrr.
Postscript: Looks like I’ll have to give on the hot tub. Based on email, people in Mass don’t think of them as necessities. A hot tub seems as important as front steps, a kitchen sink or a toilet, to me. But then I’ve been living in Calif for 23 years and I guess it’s warped my personality. Heh. Anyway, I just took a walk up Mass Ave towards Arlington, not too far, and it looks pretty good. I don’t really care if there’s a lawn. Being in walking distance to Harvard Square would be nice. A floor in a house would probably be enough. I must have a good net connection of course.

Historical Lessons from the Past
A. Bartlett Giamatti. “Far better to think historically, to remember the lessons of the past. Thus, far better to conceive of power as consisting in part of the knowledge of when not to use all the power you have. Far better to be one who knows that if you reserve the power not to use all your power, you will lead others far more successfully and well.” [Motivational Quotes of the Day]
What happened to personal responsibility? Good god.
A Teen Dies: Who Is Responsible?. The parents of a young man who committed suicide are suing a woman he met on an online discussion board that provides participants with detailed instructions on how to end their lives. They blame the woman for their son’s death. Part three in a series by Julia Scheeres. [Wired News]
