Take a Greyhound bus to Montpelier. Call me, I will pick you up

If you get in too late for Greyhound [6 pm?], start thinking of incentives for me to drive two hours to get you.

From Boston

take 93N to 89N to exit 3

go right off the exit onto 107

  • After the third day, you will transition from houseguest to day laborer and I will put you to work.
  • Check abada for calendar info.
  • There are a finite number of weekends, I may double-book. I'll try to warn you if I think you won't get along with my other friends.
  • I have one or two extra beds. Big crowd? Bring sleeping bags. First come, first served.
  • The place is hell on the allergic; bring your meds.

  • If you are here and appear bored, I can put you to work, never fear.
  • Your cell phone will may not work here.
  • Parking is at a premium here, you may need to park elsewhere and walk here.

offerings

  • I have enough coffee and tea here to survive a mid-length siege, even if you drink some.
  • It always helps to bring food, beer or board games. I have Scrabble, backgammon, puzzles, cards, cribbage and popcorn.
  • If the weather is nice, there is a grill. Appearances nonwithstanding, I eat meat.
  • I have 20GB of music. Bring CDs if you'd like.
  • We can walk to many places to sit by the river.
