Just got an email from (Spotify? Ticketmaster? I already forget) reminding me that The National is playing near Boston on my 40th birthday. Looking forward to teasing my second kid about this someday.
"Daddy would have celebrated officially becoming an Old Man by going to see his favorite dad-rock band, but you had to come along instead!"
I should probably have said comfortable temperature. The ideal (outdoor) temperature is 65 degrees. But anywhere from 50 to 80 is usually comfortable enough.

Another issue is that those giant screens all have ads and the departure screens are tiny and on columns at the side of the station. They could show departures on one of the giant screens! (Yes, I was stuck here yesterday.)

Hey @MBTA why do you keep cancelling scheduled runs of the 73 bus? The route was included in your plan for frequent bus service but it often functionally runs every 25-30 minutes because so many runs get cancelled. Is this ever going to end?
