So there was a thing in Boston today. A VERY BAD thing. And it was all over the news. All over the world. Late afternoon, I started hearing from friends and family and project people and co-workers and bloggers and blog fans and chatters and Philip and…
You would think I would hear from the AM men I am corresponding with regularly. Mr Truck? Panties Man? Mr Hyatt? Maybe the Traveler who had just been here? Maybe they’d inquire as to how I am? Was I there? Am I close to the area? Tell me how they got along today with so many roads and services disrupted? I thought they’d check in.
Wrong!
The only man I heard from was Schenectady Sam, the guy over 100 miles away who had helped me try to unravel and AM Mystery in late March, that I hadn’t talked with much at all.
Not a word from any of the others. Zip. Nada. Zero. They were the only subset of my social circles that were silent. Why do you think that is?

Hiya! Since IM is being so freaky, I am switching to email.
Thank you very much for checking on me! It’s been a long strange afternoon, but I am fine, and as far as I can tell, all my pals are safe too. Several of them were right there, but got lucky.
Here’s a fun video of a man hard at work, to keep us smiling. This is NSFW!

What a thing. I watched it all unfold on the camera feed from WBZ. I’m glad to hear that you and yours are safe, but man … it just makes you shake, doesn’t it?
Thanks for the video. 🙂 I watched it this morning BEFORE I drove in to work. And now that I’m here, I’m …

Good morning!
I flipped back and forth between the Boston Globe tweeter feed and CBS live feed… so bizarre. How can this happen in my city? On this day? Then my phone, email, IMs and Facebook went wild with people checking on me. It is lovely to be cared for!
We are trying to focus on the good done by hundreds of people rather then the evil done by a few. I do feel the need to reconfirm that I am alive, say things to people I care about. Never forget that you are a special man and there is a sassy woman in Boston who thinks so! and wishes she could kneel at your feet and have a blissful look on her face while she pleasures you slowly and carefully with her hands and mouth for 5 minutes! Have a great Tuesday!
