Boston

As part of the ongoing responsibility of work, I had to travel to Boston (MA, USA) recently. It was the conference of conferences, the biggest gathering of political scientists of the year, APSA. While I was pleased with our paper (that we were to present), my computer died and I spent most of my time trying to rebuild out paper and presentation from email exchanges and scraps on my computer (thanks Best Buy!).

I signed up late so ended up staying a bit out of the city center at one of the lesser hotels. However, I learned more about Boston by having to travel through it.

I also promised the bartender at my local (the Kite) that I would bring him an authentic Sox cap. So, during a slow part of the day, I slipped out of the conference and went down to Fenway - during a Red Sox/White Sox game no less (!) - and got him one.

Bona Fide.
