Beating the Boston Blues

• I'm on my way to an obsenely low-paid gig in hopes of landing an absurdly low-paid but high-in-perks job. This keeps happening.
• If you wait long enough, your well-to-do neighbors will skip town for warmer weather and let you escape your chilly confines in exchange for their 5 stories of well-heated glory.
• And if you're lucky, you get to go visit your sister in Key West and leave all the wintery-ness behind for a while. I leave next week.
• What's life without a soundtrack? Even better if you can get original and independent music. Ian kept us all warm at Kennedy's last night.
