"I have just returned from Boston. It's the only thing to do if you find yourself up there."
-Fred Allen, (1894-1957) comedian

I don't eat New England clam chowder or Boston éclairs. I don't wear the color red at all during baseball season. I weasel out of business trips that involve a Massachusetts destination. The city of Boston, to me, is no different than mint chocolate chip ice cream, margaritas, or "The Lord of the Rings." I don't care how universally popular they are: I've tried 'em, and I hate 'em.
