Enormous Room

Dear proprietors of The Enormous Room martini bar,

There is no sign on your building, save for a red elephant stencil on a nondescript door hidden behind an adjacent business' storefront. Also, your room is not enormous.

ATM card saga continues

And as expected, an hour after canceling the lost-in-the-mail card, the card appears. There is no way to uncancel the card.

FedEx fail

The best laid plans...

My ATM card was lost in transit between Seattle and Pittsburgh. FedEx says they left it on the porch where I am staying, but I never saw the envelope. I cancelled the new card and had a replacement expedited to Cambridge, where I will be staying next week. With luck it will arrive before I leave the country for a week, next Friday.

Meanwhile, I have a dollar twenty-five in quarters, and no way to withdraw cash from an ATM. I dearly hope that taxis at the Boston airport will accept credit cards.

I'm surprisingly unconcerned with this development. Somehow, I trust that things will work out for the best. There's always Western Union, in a pinch.

10-Year High School Reunion

high school reuinion

NYP to ALB via amtrak 283
My high school reunion tonight. Yay.

Today is calista's birthday. I paid for her to have a pedicure and footrub this morning. While she was occupid, I had a shave and a haircut at a nearby barber shop. My first straight razor shave. Extraordinarily indulgent. ItLs a good thing I don't live in new york, I don't think my wallet could handle survive the barber habit I would surely acquire.
