I think I'll go to Boston.....

Steve is going home. Steve is going to Boston. He thinks he need a sunrise, he's tired of the sunset, he knows it's nice in the Summer, some snow would be nice... oh yeah.

Steve has had "I think I'll go to Boston" as his gtalk saying many times during the past 3 weeks. And now it's finally time. He will be there! Tomorrow!

I picture him excitedly packing up his little suitcase and worrying about his mail. Should he leave a note? Will the mailbox get too full? He is most likely listening to Augustana, perhaps he is doing some fist pumping in the air. It's very exciting.

Last week we discussed our flights and when we'd be home (near Boston). We both have red eye flights. This discussion took a sharp turn down a very uncomfortable road when Steve shared what 'Red Eye' makes him think of.

Steven: yeah
"Think I'll go back to Boston"
Some snow would be nice
me: easy there, augustana
so what day are you leaving seattle?
Steven: 17th RED EYE
boston red eye
so funny
you know what that meant when I was a kid?
so gross
but, kids always used to do it
me: what?!?
i don't want to know.
Steven: you'd moon
the person
but, pull the cheeks apart
boston red eye
me: oh my god!
sick
Steven: hahaha
swear to god...
me: you'd show your balloon knot?
Steven: hahaha
not me
me: haha
Steven: but, other kids
me: thank gawd

Now I can never fly 'red eye' without throwing up a little bit in my mouth.

Soon there will be live updates from our Boston-based 'Steve Reporter'. Stay tuned. And Merry Christmas!!
