I miss Boston, and at this time of year, I especially miss the Big E though it is not something I associate with Boston but with my hometown, Spfld.

I was in Boston once, back in 1987, for an international collegiate convention with Circle K, sponsored by Kiwanis...hmmm I should write about them! Bostonians drivers aimed for us because we Californians tried to enjoy our pedestrian right-of-way. By the time we flew out of Boston, our shoes were flatter than duck bills!
