so i get out of jury duty monday in downtown cambrige.. and there's the train right accross the street.. i'm thinking hey now,, i'll bet i could take that all the way home to arlington {alwife} then a bus to my house..
so I ask the ohh so plesant train ticket lady.." i need to get back to arlington" she sais "get on this train it will take you right there"
i'm like "sweet" i pay the 1.25 hop on the train.. sure enough "arlington" 4'th stop.. so i get off in the dark tunnel i'm thinking this don't feel like arlington.. so i go up the stairs to the outside world and whear am I??? right in downtown boston on "arlington" street..
so i call my wife she sais "get back on the train and take it to park st. and then get on the red train to ARLINGTON{alwife} good enough...
so i go back inside and pay another $1.25 and get on the next train.... whear does that take me?? even further out of the way
ok so now i'm wise to the whole north/south thing.. so i say to myself "i gotta get off this train,,, go accross the street and get to the other side of the tunnel and get on the train going the "other" way"... so there I go up to street level,, cross the street and go back down to the other side... pay another $1.25 and wtf
i'm still on the same side..
i'm like dam i need a gps.. so i finally go back up to street level,, go DIAGONAL accross the street and back down to the subway.. AHA!!! i did it.. pay ANOTHER $1.25 and hop the right train to park street and then to the red line ond on to alwife {ARLINGTON}..
whear my lovely wife and kids were waiting with an iced coffee and a kiss
next time i'll take a cab
