Going to Boston!

well the boss said we needed to send people up to Boston for a couple weeks and I volunteered. this is so sweet because Camille has family that lives up there and one uncle is getting married on our last night there. Camille has already booked her flight going into Logan Intl.

So I just checked my travel information. Ha! had to call the boss to make sure that it was correct. turns out that FLT has two teams in Boston, north and south, and both teams are double the size of our cincinnati team. So anyway it looks like i'll be flying into Providence, RI. not Logan, and I'll be staying in North Attleboro, which is about 40 minutes south of downtown boston. hmmmm. Looks like camille may have a little wait at the airport unless a relative can pick her up. fortunately I get to Providence at 5:06 and then get my rental car and she gets to Logan at 6:10.

Then the other issue is what is she gonna do when I'm working? in hollywood at least there was good public transit, subways and all. I don't know about North Attleboro to Boston.

Updates to come....

Update 1. Well it turns out that when camille first heard about the trip she thought she would have to book both flights and then the company would pay me back. it doesn't work that way. so I had her cancel my flight right away. I went today to check if I could change her flight, and as luck would have it, they canceled both tickets not just mine. So I rebooked her flight, and this time she is on the same flight as me both ways. SWEET!!!

Update 2. I called the Hotel in North Attleboro and they say that the train station is about 10 miles from the hotel. so at least Camille has a way into Boston even if she can't get to Scituate on her own.

Cat is up to no good.

Well, another day of the cat getting into mischief. today Camille caught him drinking out of the toilet. his hind legs were on the front of the seat and his front paws were in the basin. We can never seem to get him to drink out of his bowl and rarely will he even want to eat his own food. he usually has a go at the dog's food and water. what i don't get is that this time he's drinking out of the toilet when both of the other bowls are full.

He fell in the toilet a couple weeks ago and now this. even the dog doesn't drink from the toilet.
