Back in Boston (part deux)

I just logged in to my gmail account after being offline for the week I was in Florida and I have 69 unread messages!

I plan to try and back-post the pictures from SF and tails of FL, etc. Right now it's 1 am and I'm just getting into bed after racing home from the airport. Brian and I managed to chase after 3 trains, ride up and down at least 7 escalators and trek up and down 2 sets of stairs with bags weighing in over 50 lbs. You have to love Logan airport and all of the inconvienent ways to get to and from there! Believe it or not they have made another T adjustment that makes no sense: It turns out they are installing new state of the art ticket machines to help elimate tokens and the T employees that take too much time to count them. A great idea, however, this new ticket system has only been deployed on the Blue Line and the $5 ticket Brian was required to purchase to get on the subway at the airport cannot be used on any other line currently. Well, the ticket is valid till December 2006....

Anyone care to wager on whether or not Brian will get to use that ticket on the redline? What's the current over/under on Boston mass transit project deadline slips? 2 years? 10?
