Lotsa stores in the Boston area that I’ve grown used to are changing.
Grand Opening is now online only.
Pandemonium is moving and expanding.
A hip friend and I are worried that this is a death sentence.
Cremaldi’s has been replaced.
The Globe Corner Bookstore is homeless.
- Deduction doesn’t always work. Dances stereotypically. Stereotypical name. Stereotypical dress. Ask a direct question… nope. So much for Sherlock Holmes.
- Send the ear that listens to you, or hand that feeds you to hell (to mix a metaphor) often enough, and it will go away. No one has infinite patience. Most people have very little in fact.
- Many people take advantage of Boston Restaurant Week to go to a fru-fru resto. Apparently, we’re taking advantage of it to go out to eat 4 times in a week. Anyone doubt we’re slightly afraid of impending parenthood? Mind you, last year’s resto week we went out to eat 5 times.
- People from LinkedIn who worked at the same large corporation that I did have invited me to join their network. I either don’t know or don’t remember these people. I feel odd accepting the invitations.
- Walked to Harvard square. The sidewalks were much more deformed than I remember them.
- Hung out with ++U in H^2. Good conversation.
- Hung out with a hip friend yesterday at Tosci’s. We were entertaining the undergrads with pregnancy discussions, swearing in front of some kids, and other odd personal topics. Had a very good time.
Letting More Random Thoughts Escape

I hear you on the LinkedIn thing. I have a ton of unrequited invites from Microsoft, Pfizer, and Accenture people. On one hand, I guess I want a larger network, but I wouldn’t feel comfortable saying I *know* these people well enough to refer them for something.
Unsurprisingly, the two people from Merrill had a huge number of people. My network went from ~300 to ~3,800.
Researched how to remove contacts I regret having added. You have to contact tech support.
