So Blue decided to dare subject himself to Travis' family and Christmas. I also found out that he'd never been to New York before, this is something I've decided to fix. Travis gets a little huffy about it, comments about how Boston's just as great as New York, and New York's just over rated... even if there's a large Christmas tree and a skating rink that's world famous. He gave up arguing when I pointed out the various theater options in New York.

I think it's just pride in his home town, and the fact that Boston often lives in the shadow of New York, simply because it's so close by, and it manages to do everything New York does, but in a more understated and classic manner. Travis also starts bringing up old Earth history to support Boston's greatness. A lot of significant events took place in this city. It actually sounds pretty interesting, I'm going to have to make some time to do a little reading on the topic. The Klingon schools I was subjected to certainly didn't cover Earth history, and I'd been too young when I'd lived on Luna, they hadn't really started on the history in school there yet.

At any rate, I've talked Travis and Blue into an outing to New York tomorrow. We'll probably try to get in to see something on Broadway, and wander through the major tourist attractions. My mother saw to it that my brothers and I saw them all when we still lived on Luna, but it's always interesting to people watch at those sorts of places.

Also, I still have some Christmas shopping to do. Where better to do it than a major metropolitan hub?
