Pronounced "Baw-st'n"
As mentioned on the business end of things, I'm in Boston at the Internet Retailer Conference & Expo, culminating in my presenting at the conference Wednesday afternoon. It's great to be back in town--with the exception of a six-hour business meeting in January, I haven't spent any time in Beantown in nearly a decade. We took advantage tonight, eating at a local restaurant in the North End, and I have plans to see at least one old friend before I leave town.
Massachusetts always strikes a great note with me. The history, the architecture, the weather: everything is the way I like it. A lifetime of summer visits to Cape Ann (and, more recently, Martha's Vineyard) has certainly influenced me. And even though I'm a Yankee fan in the Red Sox's backyard, it just feels good to be here.
