Well, nothing catostrophic happened, but things still didn’t pan out as planned after I poured orange juice over my Mini-Wheats.<\/P>
\n

I planned to go home from work to grab a quick meal before heading out to see the advanced screening of the Arisocrats with Rich. But as I approached the North end, I noticed that the street signals weren’t working (traffic was a mess). I also noticed more elderly Italians sitting on their front stoops. Now, this happens daily anyway – but the quantities were much higher yesterday.<\/P>
\n

I got to my building only to realize that there was no power. I fiddled with the key hole to my apartment in the pitch-black 2nd floor landing of my building and entered my un-air-conditioned home. Well, there was no way I could prepare a quick meal so I headed deeper into the North End to grab a slice (or two…I’m a pig) of pizza. There were pockets with power and I managed to go to Ernesto’s on Salem Street only to find out that within the prevoius hour there were four manhole explosions\/fires along Hanover and Prince Streets so the electric company shut down power practically to the whole North End.<\/P>
\n

Anyway, no big deal. I returned to my dark and primitive home to eat my pizza. The power came on just before I left the apartment to go to the movie. YAY!<\/P>
\n

But when I arrived at the theatre, Rich and I couldn’t get in because they gave out too many free passes and the place had reached capacity. UGH.<\/P>
\n

Fortunately, the rest of the night went by without a hitch. Rich and I ventured back into the North End and had some half-melted gelato on Salem Street before retuning to my place to watch Big Brother.<\/P>
\n

I sent Rich home and then I packed, shaved and showered in preparation of my trip to the White Mountains this evening. I won’t have interent access up there. Hell, they barely get the local ABC affiliate. But I plan to take oodles of pictures of the mountains and rivers and streams (oh my). See you mid-week!<\/P><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
