Hey hey! NOT cool. I live outside 495 (by like.... 8 minutes) . Worcester is at least 15 minutes outside 495. The Pioneer Valley definitely exists. Oh how I miss the 413!

Having been born and raised in Berkshire County, I know full well that anything east of Springfield is "out near Boston".

You may be my fav GCer now, just for knowing Springfield exists. Everytime I told people I spent my summers in Tolland, they always assumed CT, not MA. Then they looked at me funny when I confirmed I was speaking of MA.

(Though I will add that I have to take a pile of students camping in Mt. Washington next weekend and have never heard of Mt. Washington, MA before.... I'm assuming super western MA?)

Any worthy New Englander knows about Springfield.. Only when they have tornadoes there do the Bruins win the Stanley Cup :p

I'm hoping for another one this year... which touches down in the middle of nowhere, causing no damage, injury, or fatalities, of course! ......

:) I feel like that was the year of screwy weather all together. Hurricanes leaving me without water or power for a week +, earthquake (seriously?!), freak October ice storm (also leaving me without heat, power, water for a week - but that was a good excuse to go to more Bruins games that week to stay warm), and tornado. Craziness.

It may sound weird, but to me, it just feels like you're actually making progress when you're constantly crossing into other states. It feels like such an accomplishment when you see a "Welcome to..." sign.
YES! I live in TX now but I'm from WI. Holy cow, does IL drag on forever and ever. The best part of the trip is when I can check off AR, TN, and MO in quick succession.

Taking students camping = teacher of the year.

I do not camp, therefore I will not be taking anyone camping...ever.

Camping with students as a training weekend in the Berkshire Mtns of far western MA this upcoming weekend...

Camping with these students for 5 weeks in Zambia and Botswana next summer with the likelihood of no laundry and maybe one shower over for the whole trip.... it sounded like a good idea when I was asked to chaperone.

Sigmagirl2000 = teacher of the year! I am convinced, now.

I worked at the CVS on Bellevue Avenue across from the International Tennis Hall of Fame this summer! Met the most interesting people there from all over the place.
