Back from Jamaica - leaving ASAP

I have returned to senitly it seems leaving for probably more however today took the frosting never mind the cake. Boston by train. Yes another train story. Not one that derailed but maybe it should have. A man sitting next to me (we are now on American trains) answered a phone call. His daughter. A swinger. (did he know the expression? yes he did). She plays with them all. Addresses flying from every two seats in front and behind to the man where ever his daughter was in Florida and they wanted to know and her as well. Off train. Put on a bus I need not go on with people who didi not see too well (eyes in all directions) and my directions? Lost. After seeing the good ship lolypop (USS Consittution, Paul Rever's house and Park, St Senna's "Church, big banque buildings, I knew I was on the wrong bus. After being dropped off in an undisclosed place with promise to pick me up in20 minutes time, and them (who ever they were) and I would be dropped off where I was to be or shall we say close.

Bad elevator that did not operate right or not at all I should state. Every floor it would go up a step down a step up and bang open doors. 3 floors of this and that did it. As the elevator moved again after that people waiting I stood right out in the crowd EMERGANCY NEED TO GO HIGHER WAITE FOR THE NEXT ELEVATOR ACROSS FROM YOU..............button on close door all the way till I got off.

Back to the situation again as to where the underground was. At least in the UK they have signs I don't think Boston has got that yet. Found it got to North Station for the train back to Lowell. Froze to death waiting for 1 1/2 hours until I found a nook to hide in not really legal but I did anyway. hockey players arriving to go up to the rink in the Fleet Center (old hockey players none I recognized) the guard arrived with the evil look and told him waiting for my son to give him his socks he forgot......................................................... Got on the train finally and away we go again. Full full full train with everyone from everywhere. A fight 3 to be exact 2 on my carriage and one in somewhere else and police everywhere. We stopped at stations I never stopped at before. Time to leave????????????????? YOu bet. 1st of Feb. onto Florida for at least 3 months. Will give details later as this will be a good one the best yet of all the jobs for a short time anyway. Thanks to my good friend Wally.

If you don't hear from me and I am missing don't please bring me back here.

All the best as they say
