My plans have already been changed by weather, my flight for Sunday was
canceled, so I'm now flying back Monday, which means if Saturday is too horrid,
we can do Sunday (does anyone know if TCS will be open Sunday? They list Sunday
hours [open til 7:00] but they're also "holiday" hours which presumably meant
for Christmas).

Waltham is also very accessible by bus. Their web page:

has information (but doesn't mention bus lines).

If you guys know if and when you're going to meet at TCS today, could you post it here? I have been following ths thread, but I didn't want to pipe up and say I would *definitely* be there... but I'd like to try to be. eric (26 years ago, 30-Dec-00, to lugnet.loc.us.ma.bos)
