Highly unemployed

What have I been doing since I got home you ask?? Well, other than NOTHING, here's a taste of my re-americanization.

First, I went out in Boston and purchased several $5 beers, which was budget crippling.
Second, I registered my car for $142, which was budget crippling and downright unexpected.
Thirdly, reconnected my cell phone, which only took 3 hours on the phone with some verizon customer rep from Atlanta or Texas. A pleasing day time activity to be sure.
Fourthly, I went to the dentist, which is an costly day time activity.
Fifthly, to combat my wallet hemorraging and also to reconnect with my fellow american bretheren, I went to Walmart. And as suspected, both the parking lot and store interior are filled with what scientist call; wife beater wearing WT.

It's good to be home.

Things I missed most while being away (in order of importance):
1) TIE: Hidden Valley Ranch Dressing and my Family
3) TIE: Bagels and my Friends.
5) Thick maine accents
6) My middle aged woman car (Burgundy in color) that is making a disagreeable thumping noise near the front right tire that wasn't there 6 months ago. I CAN'T wait to fix that one..
7) Being able to communicate with over half of the population.. very underrated.
8) 4 consecutive episodes of sportcenter in the morning.
9) Anna's super Burrito with everything over there (pointing to a collection of condiments near the burrito maker).
10) A lot. but mostly, home.

I will be kind of out of internet range for a good portion of August, but I will be putting up posts from time to time. So, if you have any interest, I hope you keep checking out what this exceedingly mature, well-groomed traveling intellect who exclusively writes in cursive is up to. By the way, Chilean soup tasted like crap and so now begins the "American Pot Pie" phase of consumption.
