Yes, that's the Plaza I meant. Couldn't remember the "Country Club" part. It was beautiful and very nice but I thought then that some of the shops were a bit pricey - but very nice. Perhaps they've become more price-competitive in the last few years.

As for the Teddy Tunnel, the whole effort was locally called "The Big Dig" and it continued for years and years. It must have been quite profitable for some.

Actually I'm afraid that if any of the Kennedys were thrown in the harbor (though richly deserved) it might spoil the tea there - but keep up the warm thoughts.

Yes, that’s exactly what I remember it being called...the “Big Dig.” Wasn’t it several years behind in completion, let alone about ten billion dollars over budget? Typical of union nonsense and frivolity...where were the Sopranos when you needed them?

It reminds me of what things must have been like here during the twenties and thirties under Pendergast, the Cosa Nostra, and the mysterious Democrat machine...but at least we got the Liberty Memorial (WWI) out of it.

It’s colder than a well digger’s posterior here today—a balmy thirteen degrees with a wind chill of four. Unfortunately, I had to go out in the nonsense for some prescription eye ware...it was just great.

Good luck to your Patriots tomorrow, as I am a Wes Welker supporter. Talk to you later.
