I suppose, also of note, I visited friends who live near Cleveland Circle
two of the nights, and so also got in some Green Line riding; And a trip to
the north end of the Orange Line to have brunch and work from the dining
room of another friend also ensued.

I got myself a CharlieCard the second day, which was a good decision:
unlike the 10 year interval since the last trip, I can say with great
certainty I will be heading back sooner than that next trip.
