Up in Boston many years ago, I got stuck in a snowstorm. There was no way to get home as public transportation closed and there was a driving ban. Our employer put us up for the night at a local hotel and let us expense our dinner at any restaurant of our choice. I remember us being at some restaurant near Faneuil Hall and sucking down plate after plate of oysters. Around 11PM that night, I got temporarily lost trying to find my hotel which was only about three blocks away. That's how thick the snow was. All in all, it was an experience to remember.
Was that 1978 by any chance?
