Your mileage may vary, but it took me forty-three hours to get from Jerusalem to Somerville.

Of course there was the little matter of a blizzard . . .

It would have taken even longer if I hadn't managed to get the last seat on the only train that actually made it in real time (i.e. less than twelve hours) from New York to Boston yesterday.

And I walked into my home last night to find football on the tube and Adam Vinatieri setting the ball on the tee for the opening kickoff. Whew!
