BEANTOWN BOB THE BLOGGER

At nautical dawn I shoved off for Beantown. It was 6:20 AM and 21 degrees. The Mass Pike was amazing to see the thousands of vehicles moving along nicely. In my UBER spirit I maneuvered around the streets of Boston arriving at 8:30 AM. My favorite phlebotomist Lin drew my blood better than Dracula!

Everything about my 135 mile RT was great. Dr. Dey and I chatted about Trump and other non-medical topics. Earlier, I checked in with "Dr. Shrink" who I hadn't seen since Sept. 20. Once again all went well.

Mass General Hospital also has Medical Museum. I visited it as I always enjoy learning about medicine. Between Roentgen discovering x-rays in 1985 and the Civil War medical techniques and nursing gave me my "fix." How lucky we are to live in the world of 2019!

The Eat Street CafĂ© offered me two slices of mushroom pizza and a Zero Coke. Plus I got a couple cans of V-8 on the house.

Traffic going home was decent considering it was a Friday rush. AM740 WJIB plays some excellent music from yesteryear.

I have a double booking in April. And, oh yes, my Mission roadside  man was given $4.00 for his cause. On the way out a panhandler held a sign "Pregnant & homeless!" How would you like to be in her shoes? I gave her a dollar. Mercedes Benz cars and Audi's honk their horns at me. I don't give the finger and I am not intimidated by cheap charlies.

Amen!
