I’m visiting my awesome sister in Boston now. We had a salon last night where she played me some songs she’s working on and I read her my latest story.
In a lot of ways, New England is home to me. I love the saltbox houses and the town greens, and absence has made the heart grow fonder of ubiquitous Red Sox caps. I even like riding the T. (If you’ve just tuned into Simpson’s Paradox, I feel about driving the way most people feel about visiting the dentist. Oh, not the dread and anxiety part, I just mean that driving is better than all my teeth falling out.)
As Eric said: Welcome back to the homeworld.
[PS I reread several years of Pie2K comics to find this one to go with the title.]

I have a sister and some good friends who live in the Boston area and even though I’m not from New England originally, I am totally entranced with the area as well (even if the local version of Chinese food kinda sucks, ha)
