February 19th-21st

Sunday – Duke vs Boston College

Boston

Landed after midnight, to a cab to the hotel in Newton, MA.

Short night.

Met my friend Lisa in the lobby; she is filling in for Susie this weekend on our show.  We had an interesting time trying to get to the arena.  Neither of us had done basketball at BC before and it’s kinda hard to find where the truck parks.

We had a good day.  Had lunch at a pizza joint.

I took her car back to the hotel after the game; everyone else went out for drinks.  I did not have that in me!

Got take out from the hotel bar.  Which by the way, has amazing food!

The hotel is one of those funky boutique style places – Hotel Indigo.  Can’t believe it’s owned by Holiday Inn.

Off to bed, have to get up in a few hours.

Monday – Travel/Work

Boston > DC > State College, PA

Ohio State vs Penn State Women's CBB

Slept for about 4 hours and then up at on the road again.  Had a 5:30am flight – trying to get to Penn State in time for my 10am crew call.  Not scheduled to land until 9:55, so I know I will be late.

Struggled to stay away on the cab ride to the airport.  I never like falling asleep in the cab because I am afraid they will kidnap me.

Slept on both flights and felt somewhat human once I landed in State College.  And I landed early.  

Made it to work almost on time.

It was a great day – the Duet op was Janice – whom I have spoken to via phone and email for years; finally got to meet in person!  

Our AP was new so it proved to be an interesting day for sure.

After the game, I somehow found the energy to go to the bar with Janice for a couple beers and then walked back to the hotel.  

Crashed hard.

Tuesday – Travel home

Up early again, but am flying home today.  Rough weekend for sure.
