It seems I only have these odd encounters when on vacation.
I was walking towards the lobby of the hotel as half a dozen people,
probably early 20s,
maybe,
were walking the other way.
The one in front stops,
and asks me directly, “What's your first name?”
I notice he's wearing a name tag attached to a lanyard,
and in large bold letters is his name: XXX.
“Sean,” I say. “I see your name is—”
“And what's your last name?” he blurts out before I can finish.
“Conner.”
“Cool! What's your middle name?”
“Patrick.”
“Thanks.” And the group starts walking down the hall.
It was then I noticed the familiar yellow of a school bus through the front door of the lobby.
You have my permission to link freely to any entry here. Go
ahead, I won't bite. I promise.
The dates are the permanent links to that day's entries (or
entry, if there is only one entry). The titles are the permanent
links to that entry only. The format for the links are
simple: Start with the base link for this site: https://boston.conman.org/, then add the date you are
interested in, say 2000/08/01,
so that would make the final URL:
https://boston.conman.org/2000/08/01
You can also specify the entire month by leaving off the day
portion. You can even select an arbitrary portion of time.
You may also note subtle shading of the links and that's
intentional: the “closer” the link is (relative to the
page) the “brighter” it appears. It's an experiment in
using color shading to denote the distance a link is from here. If
you don't notice it, don't worry; it's not all that
important.
It is assumed that every brand name, slogan, corporate name,
symbol, design element, et cetera mentioned in these pages is a
