After my last email to Comcast, there was a brief period of time during which service-related emails were actually being sent to me properly, i.e., they seemed to have actually fixed the problem. However, yesterday the problem returned, i.e., once again my wife is receiving service-related emails and I’m not.
To: letterstotheeditor@bostonherald.com To the editor: It has been painful to watch the avalanche of flawed statistics and discredited urban legends wielded by opponents of a primary enforcement seat-belt law in their foolhardy efforts to stop a law which would undeniably save lives. Jonah Goldberg informs us that since there are states with higher traffic fatality… Read More »
To: letterstotheeditor@bostonherald.com To the editor: Councilor Michael Flaherty’s idea to slash the city’s motor pool by having workers ride the T is a brilliant strategy for doubling the number of employees on the payroll. How else does he expect to maintain the same level of productivity when workers are forced to spend half the day… Read More »
It is exceedingly depressing to me that I will be posting this sign in front of our house tomorrow morning after the rain has stopped:
To: CabotSuperintendent@mbta.com Mr. Houghton, Thanks to a helpful bus driver this morning (the driver of the inbound 554 bus that passed through Newton Corner at around 8:20), my daughter and I finally found out the real explanation for why we missed the 554 bus from Newton Corner to Newtonville on Monday and Tuesday of this… Read More »

I read it quickly (things were a little crazy the day after they lost my daughter!) and thought the FAA folks said that they had forwarded my complaint to the DOT and TSA. In fact, they hadn’t, so… Read More »

We were stationed at 400 Centre Street by 8:17, waiting for a 554 bus scheduled to… Read More »
Later this summer, my soon-to-be-11 daughter will be having a sleepover party to celebrate her birthday. My wife wisely points out that allowing the girls to choose what movie to watch is guaranteed to produce winners and losers, so we’re going to pick the movie in advance. We’ve got some ideas, but I thought it… Read More »
I just sent this: Mr. [name elided], Thank you for your email and voicemail message. I’m sorry to say that it appears the issue with my account is not yet resolved.
