I am not a well boy

Bleah. What a day. I could be a spokesperson for a new superdrug. BG is over 200 which is a sure sign of something being wrong. I think I’ll just take a shower and go to bed.

SS Once More

While browsing around, I found the IRO is having a sale!!! Wooo!!! I also found out that a shop I was unaware of around here sells IRO’s, so I went down to check them out. Now, I knew this was a messenger shop, but I didn’t really expect open hostility. I certainly hope I was [...]

JP, Dover, S. Natick, Wellesley, Newton.
It’s a nice ride up until Wellesley, the it sucks. The only (direct) way I’ve found back into town is to follow the marathon route (Rte 16 to Comm Ave), but that’s [...]
