Back home, for a day, and then back up to Cambridge depending on the results of Irene.
I'll be at the Red Sox / Yankees game Tuesday night. It will be Ceridwen's first live Red Sox game. She was born the day they won the 2007 series, she was asleep in my arms when the game concluded. Memories...

Lynlee, major cities actually license said data to mapping providers. This has been a long-stranding controversy because you're either stuck with P2P solutions based on smartphones and people reporting in or you're stuck with data that may or may not be sold and sent to an Indian GIS firm in any reasonable amount of time. Unfortunately the best resource is still a local paper's traffic reports a day or two ahead of travel.
I am a 'True Grit' sort of fan myself so Brett Favre had always been a favorite (some signed gear from him too). Once he left Green Bay I didn't watch again. Aaron Rogers has been an excellent successor but no particular NFL team has a strong draw for me. Right now, just due to regional availability, Tampa Bay Bucs are my follow..
I'm glad you got some enjoyment time after your past few weeks of doldrums. Always good to decompress as a major sporting event.

Lawyers with good Federal experience require five-figure retainers and are really annoying. Even for Lawyers. *sigh*

Doctor Who came back tonight with "Let's Kill Hitler!" and it was fairly good. Not the best of Season 6 yet but it did fix and then break again River Song's timeline. Between upcoming international travel I've got an invite to Episode 12 pre-screening. If I can keep it. Apparently the "uninvited" are getting some additional scrutiny with our loaned invites. Grr.
Anyhow.. rambling.. again.. -Magnus
