Yesterday I attended a class in Boston at the Fairmont Copley Plaza Hotel. It was called "Presenting Data and Information", by Edward Tufte (http://www.edwardtufte.com). Very interesting and instructive. All the attendees got copies of each of his books, and he spent time signing them prior to the start of the session.

I should be more careful when riding the bus, however, and make sure I know where the terminal is! I hadn't taken it in almost 10 years (don't get to the big city often), and they had moved the terminal because of the "big dig"! I had gotten off the bus on the way in at a stop prior to the terminal, and ended up spending a couple of extra minutes finding the new place. The driver had just closed the door as I approached the bus, but she let me on without incident.

Sure beats driving, and the $19 fare is barely more than the $16 parking around Copley Place.
