Boston

I was in Boston for 2 weeks with the show and John was on layoff from his show so he got to come visit for 8 days!! On my Monday off we drove down the coast to Plymouth Rock. I must say, it's not very impressive, not even as big as a car. But it has a huge monument over it.
Still not so impressive. We did see a big old boat and a bunch of small lobster boats. We took a stroll around the dock and then headed up the coast to meet some musicians friends from a previous tour. They live in Cohasset, a tiny lobster town right on the coast. This is their town's beach. They treated us to an AMAZING lobster dinner. You can see the remnants here.I had never, that I can recall, eaten a whole lobster before. The lazy person in me always ordered the lobster roll (already in convenient sandwich form) when I lived in Connecticut and I've had a tail here or there, but until that Monday had never picked up my still squirming lobster said "goodbye" and put him in the pot. It was delicious!
After dinner there was much catching up to do and John tried his hand or should I say lungs at the digereedoo.
Very funny. Janet and I laughed ourselves silly at John and at Gene laughing and giving tips. It was a fantastic evening with very good company!

Baltimore

Tonsillitis. 'Nuff said.
Yes, I'm better now. And some med student in Maryland has a picture on his iPhone of my blackened tonsil. Eww.
Oh and prior to the tonsillitis, there was a Halloween party. It was a themed party for the show. You were supposed to go to a drug store and using what you found there and make a costume out of it. I went as Frugal Sarah. (Based on a character from the show - a long dead wife of one of the guys who comes back to haunt the lead characters.) Anyway, a couple of pictures exist on Facebook and here's a picture of my hat. Notice the little tiny skeleton in the middle! Tee hee, I had a good time.
