Yesterday I worked all day in Boston and then headed to a security gig down the street in Beacon Hill. When I left the house that morning, they said there was a slight chance of rain later in the day. I think it was something like 20%. So I had my little umbrella with me, thinking that I would be fine since I did not have too far to walk.
Well, the weather got a little interesting just after I got to my security job.
As it happens with these things, Geoff and I were approved for Commonwealth Care. We picked Neighborhood Health Plan, paid our premiums, and promptly got screwed over in every way imaginable. Before you click through to read the rest, know this. This isn’t a screed against Obamacare or Socialized Medicine, I am a fan of those things. This is a screed against incompetent people, those who don’t want to do their jobs, and corporations that put their bottom line over the health of individuals and, in this case, possibly thousands of people.
Today was my first day off after 11 straight days of work. Why, yes, I am tired.
Hello everyone. I have been meaning to put up a link to the new tour that will be led by yours truly, so here is the link to the first one, which will be on September 22nd. That day is the 150th anniversary of the issuing of the Preliminary Emancipation Proclamation, so it is a pretty appropriate day, I think. If you have the time, come on out and learn some history with me.

In lieu of content at the moment, I bring you this.
We’ll have actual content later. This is my first day off in a week and Geoff has been working for over a week straight without a break. But, we have stuff and things to blog about, it’s just going to be a little while.
More later-

Someone vandalized the Shaw monument today. It happened this afternoon, literally while I was working down the street. In fact, I walked past the monument on my lunch break. I really cannot fathom why someone would do such a thing. I know I am not your average person when it comes to how I feel about this particular monument, but still, I cannot understand it.

Ok, not everything, but a lot.
Of course, I was asked just how hot the outfit was many times, just as I had often been asked when I was doing programs at places like Stones River National Battlefield and Kennesaw Mountain National Battlefield Park when I did programs in the summertime there.

I have not talked about my jobs in a while, and I wanted to let people know how they were going.
They are going quite well.
Local people will probably see this on the news. Before you read on, Geoff was there but was not involved. He’s fine, he was just interviewed for the article.
