I think I'll go sip a Dalmore until the feeling goes away! :o) I remember Boston, being station in the Navy Yards while the USS Essex was being de-commissioned waaaay back in 1969. It always seemed a friendly city to sailors ( no 'sailors and dogs keep off the grass' signs like in Norfolk!) and an exciting place to be. There were a skillion places of interest to visit, and things to do. I recall visiting a friend who was attending BU at the time, and a buddy and I rode all over Boston on the MTA using transfers from train to bus and vice versa; it was a super way to see the city and pick out places to come back and visit. I will probably get your book- I have heard so much about the Big Dig and would like to read a cogent account (Being a LUGger, you are no doubt a very cogent write/photographer and not given to any polarizing opinions, I am sure!), and it seemed so out of character for a place like the Boston I remember. I wonder if they still serve green beer on Saint Paddy's Day!? Slaint!
