As my mother predicted (in email), Amtrak is not going from Boston to New York tomorrow. Ever-hopeful, I have booked a ticket for Thursday afternoon, and in the meantime am up here in Arlington with ![[personal profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/user.png)

I went with Adrian this morning to her eye doctor, as general moral support; he seemed congenial enough that, on the way out, I observed that if I lived in the area, I would be making an appointment myself. (Dr. Nosike, at Mount Auburn.) We took the bus down to Harvard, then walked to and from the doctor, and over to Central Square to buy chocolate chips. It was a gorgeous couple of hours, sunny and warm, and still looking like fall, with colored leaves on the trees as well as on the ground. (I saw some branches down, and even one small tree that had landed on someone's fence along Mass Ave. And a remarkable number of flowers, including three rhododendron bushes that looked like April.)
I checked the Amtrak web site every hour or so; around 7:30 they posted that there would be no service between Boston and Newark tomorrow. I am not counting on Thursday either, but I have absolutely nothing to lose by booking a ticket. (If that's canceled, I may look into bus service for Friday, or just book again on Amtrak.) It's not a bad time to be out of New York City, but I miss![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
