I got home (i.e., back to Adrian's) yesterday evening, saw that Amtrak was selling tickets for today, and grabbed one on the 11:05 train from Boston to New York. My railroad trip was smooth (and I wound up with an unusually comfy seat in the cafe car; the attendant told me that car had previously been used as a first class lounge car on overnight trains) and surprisingly uncrowded. The subway ride home was also basically smooth (since what I wanted to do matched well with a part of the system that they have up and running), though crowded enough that I was glad to have left most of my luggage, and the big backpack, in Arlington.

cattitude and I have now played Scrabble, and the Greenmarket website says our market will be open as usual tomorrow (though of course we will have to wait and see which vendors are there).
Yesterday in Boston, I ran some errands with Adrian, went to the gym in mid-afternoon and got a hot fudge sundae at Toscanini's afterwards (I figure I can make a habit of getting ice cream after working out at Central Square, since I don't go there very often or at times when I'd be spoiling my appetite for lunch or dinner), and then walked over to the library to meet Adrian (she was tutoring there). While I was waiting, I answered my cell phone (in the lobby; I'd set it to a quiet mode) and turned down a temp assignment for today because I wouldn't be back in time. I was surprised to hear from the agency; the job was/would have been at the ad agency they've been sending me to a few blocks from Penn Station.
Also, I saw another patch of periwinkle in bloom on Mass Ave at the edge of Central Square, and Cattitude reports violets in our local churchyard. At least the ginkgo fruit, while stinky, is basically in season. The city says "most" parks will be open again tomorrow, so I may wander around ours and see what shape it's in, mostly meaning which/how many trees we've lost (and look for violets, periwinkles, or any other out-of-sync spring flowers).
(Yes, there's still a lot of work to be done to get things running properly again; I happen to live in a part of the city that sustained relatively little damage.)
