I just got email about the deduction for my T pass increasing next year as the fare increase goes into effect. I hadn't paid much attention before, but it's a 30% increase, which seems like a big jump all at once. That plus the health insurance payment going up next year (and, being a contractor, no automatic review that might include a raise), and I'm starting to think about what to cut out of the budget. Considering how much I've been using the gym, that might be it (and just pay for individual visits).
The Arlington T stop will switch entrances November 22, with the Arlington Street entrances closed for renovation and the Berkeley Street entrances available instead. It's closer to my work, which is highly convenient when there's precipitation. The current plan has them closing again when Arlington Street has been upgraded, but I'm hoping they'll keep it open anyway (unmanned is fine), for convenience, and also safety (much better to have options in case of trouble).
Boston people: does anyone want a pass for two to a free screening of The Fountain tomorrow night at 8? It's at the AMC Boston Common (175 Tremont St.), and getting there early is advisable, since they give out more passes than they have seats.
