Arrival in Jersey
I managed to get into New Jersey a little sooner than expected; when I got to the airport this afternoon, they were just getting ready to board the 3:30pm flight to Philadelphia. Rather than wait around for my flight an hour later, I asked if I could fly standby; a few minutes later I was on board, with the last aisle seat available.
I got to Philly just before 5pm; by the time I was on the road with my rental car, it was the height of rush hour, so things were pretty slow going. But since I was early, I was in no hurry to get to the Jersey shore; the sun was shining, Nine Inch Nails were on the radio, it was a breeze. I even almost managed to get all the way without getting lost, but just before my last turn I found myself chatting on the phone with my brother about his new job at the Associated Press and somehow drove on past the turn. A quick call to Art Wolinsky, my host for the workshop, got me back on track, and soon enough I was pulling into his drive. He got a kick out of me locking all the car doors. "Yeah, you're from Boston all right," he quipped.
