Penny 4 Your Thoughts

First of all, my apologies for sending folks to Mystery Cafe instead of Edublogs.

However, the Mobfather show was great, the food was very good, and the parking was very expensive. You want to talk about parking in Boston? Well, let me tell you, be very careful of time. We went to the show, and we got our parking ticket validated. Good for us. Then we stopped at Mike’s Pastries (highly recommended!!!!) to pick up some goodies to take home. Costly miscaculation….the parking validation was good for three hours.

We walked back to the parking garage, waited for the elevator, pulled out of our space and drove around to get in line to get out. So far, so good. When we finally got to the pay booth, we handed the validated parking ticket to the attendant. She said, “16 Dollars!” Say what? “16 Dollars!”

But we had our ticket vailidated for three hours! ….Seems we were 6 minutes over. Six minutes of waiting in line to get to the parking attendant, no less. So our 16 bucks of pastries and six minutes of waiting behind other cars cost us big time.

Oh, yeah… talk about education and technology, Phil.

OK, I purposefully did not bring my laptop on this visit with my family, because it would have been rude for me to use technology while doing the familial thing. I have learned that over the years. So I spent most of Sunday wringing my hands because i couldn’t get back quickly enough to relieve my worrying about catching up with my class after a server migration. Foolish me. A real pirate wouldn’t have worried.
