The other day, I went to Boston for my brother's wedding. Due to the timing of it, I could only take 3 days off from work, so it was a fairly hurried affair. I may have spent as much time on planes as I actually did in the US. I was one of the groomsmen, so I had to do a few various things, most of which involved drinking for three straight days. I was kinda freaked out because all of the other groomsmen were total Teabaggers. One of them even had Ronald Reagan as the background image on his iPhone. I couldn't believe that those sorts of people actually existed in real life, but I guess that's what you get when you go to the same high school as Pat Buchanan. Anyway, those guys spent the whole weekend comparing their basement arsenals, how much water and rations they have saved up for when it's time to take down Obama, and their 150-mile commutes that they make each day alone in their SUVs. I'm pretty sure that there were some fancy parties and that sort of thing, but it's all a blur really. I'm sure that Boston and Salem, where the wedding was, are nice places but I can't say because I didn't actually see anything of them except the inside of a church, a hotel, and some bars. But those parts looked nice. Hana had a great time when she was awake, but she slept a lot of strange hours, just like the rest of us. And she had a lot of fun hanging out with my family.
