I came up from my home on Martha's Vineyard last night -- I stay with a friend in Cambridge -- for a meeting today in Boston.
The traffic going to Boston was light. Usually on a Sunday night in the summer the traffic from the Cape/islands to Boston is heavy. The traffic leaving the city, however, was heavy.
This morning the Red Line and Green Line trains were nearly empty at 9:00 AM.
My meeting took place in Cafe Royale Espresso, an internet coffe-shop which is across the street from Boston University. At the back of the room there was a T.V. crew interviewing a bunch of college kids about politics. The rumor was that it was for the Daily Show, but I don't really know.
It's lovely weather, and the city seems oddly empty. It's like one of those disaster movies where everything is perfect, almost too perfect. . .
So that's my Con Blog. Think it'll get picked up by CNN?
