So I am finally back in beantown.. took the T home from the airport, the 10 minute walk in the leftover snow and cold was a big shocker after the heat of Asia.
Some shout-outs are in order:

We ended the night walking about 2kms kicking a block of ice from the city center to home.

Just imagine our frustration when we count 20 empty seats after the ...
