    Because it’s in Boston, and I’m me, I left really early, just in case. So now I’m 90 minutes early. Central Boston is rather eerie. The Prudential Center is almost deserted. Went for a walk. Then another one. I don’t really like cities, but I’d forgotten. The other thing I forgot was my Kindle. La de dah....

    I was only joking

      You still have TNCR.
      This should be enough.

        Where is your vax location? Are you out by Fenway then?

          It’s at the Hynes Convention Center on Boylston. They also do them at Gillette stadium but that would be too easy as it’s a mile from where I live

            ....and I’m done. Surprisingly efficient process. I’m in a big hall waiting to see if there’s an allergic reaction with about 200 other people

              The providers do seem to have this down to a well oiled machine - once they have the vaccines.

              What I have been looking for is somewhere I can volunteer to help those not computer literate or the elderly to get appointments. Have not seen anything in this area.

                Congrats!

                It’s an odd time figuring out how normal to live. I am two weeks out from my first and presumably safe but new habits take time.

                Everyone I know has been vaccinated at least once including many young healthy folks.

                  I was quite surprised by how quiet it was in the center of Boston - I haven't been in over a year. I briefly went shopping a few months ago to a place near here, and it was horrendously busy to the point where I didn't feel particularly safe - loads of families with no masks, etc. In the Prudential Place mall in Boston everybody was behaving very well, 100% masks as far as I could see, lots of distancing going on. Even though all the stores were open, there were very few shoppers.

                    I loved my visit to Boston several year ago. Had lunch in a hole-in-the-wall middle-eastern restaurant, so good but I have no clue what it was.
                    And, driving to Portland Maine was not a long drive, but it took $12 in tolls which I thought was a real ripoff. They're talking about placing tolls on our freeways here. Will probably happen, as it's being done behind the scenes. Oh, and the restaurant on a boat was fantastic seafood. I'd love to explore the New England areas, it's so different from here, just a lot of history that Oregon was not a part of.
