So the new office is in Burlington, and Thursday, 
baronet, 76trombones and I tried to bike there... it's something like a 12- or 14-mile trip up the Minuteman trail until you get off and make your way over surface streets to the office. I made it about 5 miles before I decided my legs had turned to rubber bands, and I had to get a ride from the Arlington Heights Trader Joe's. (Thanks, chenoameg!) The other two went on and completed the trip.
So I've decided I need to get in shape to be able to make the trip. There may or may not be time to try it again, but today after I visit a yard sale and get my car inspected (Whoa, does that sticker really say "9"??? Oops...) I'm going to come back home, get on my bike, and give the ride a try. I may go to Ace Wheelworks and ask them what I can do about my posture... maybe they can raise the handlebars for me or something.
This is a Saturday with a to-do list!
Edit: ...is that rain? Dammit.

Or maybe I'm reading you wrong.
I had a similar experience with my car's inspection sticker last January. Hm, I wonder whether my PDA is set to remind me this January... no, it wasn't, but it is now! (And hey, it was already set to remind me when my license expires.)
weather -f bos and weather -f bed do not expect rain today.
If only the 350 bus had bike racks, that would be ideal. However, this means that the Arlington->3 is a good path and avoids scary traffic. Also, Burlington Mall Road is really steep, and better avoided...
