Well... FLAT MATT arrived in Connecticut this afternoon. He did set off the wonder radar within my office. Instead of placing the envelope in my mail box our administrator was holding it and hand delivered it to my wife because it came for DAN and the woman made personal comments. You would expect a letter to me from ANN CUMMINGS would not draw any suspicion. 
Matt had packed light so our first stop was to get him some running shoes for his adventure. Being a connoisseur of running apparel we found a pair of shoes that matched the orange color of his name. Usually I run in shorts but today I picked out those skin tight pants so we match.
Next on the agenda was a five mile run to loosen up his traveling legs and work up an appetite for dinner. At the Train Tracks we hit mile marker four, 12 minutes to go and we will be finished.
Hungry? You must have had enough seafood up north
. New Haven is filled with great food, did you know Louis' Lunch is where the first hamburger was served in the United States and we are also the Birthplace of Best Pizza in the country. One more mile....
Tonight let's go to Modern Apizza, Pepe's and Sally's get most of the press so there could be a long wait. Modern's on State Street so we don't need to travel down to Wooster Square, especially with gas prices at $3.20 a gallon.
It has been a long 8 hours since Matt's arrival. The day is about done and time to kick back and relax. I stocked the fridge with a mini-six for Matt and got some tall ones for me so proportially we should be just about right.
Let the party begin! Look for the recap in about a week...
Flat Matt doesn't seem to get tipsy with his mini-beers. My over-sized bottles tend to pack a punch though, slept in this morning until about 4:00...
