Tomorrow Andy and I return to Boston, for the return of Madonna and her MDNA Tour. Needless to say, I am very excited, but I’m also slightly deflated as our seats appear to be behind the stage… or with a very limited side view. No matter, we’ve seen her before, and I’ll see her again in NYC, so we’ll just dance and sing to the music.
Before that, however, a bit of Labor Day relaxation in the form of another massage. It is said that true peace and contentment can only be found within, and there is surely something to the practices and benefits of yoga and meditation and simple exercise – but I’m after a quicker, lazy-man’s version of this – the kind of inner peace and tranquility that can only be found in a massage, where the work is all done at the hands of someone else. To that lovely end, I’ve scheduled a session at ‘etant: A Spa for Well Being‘ in the South End. It’s just a few blocks away from our place, and the perfect entry back into Boston. I’m not sure how it will compare to the heights of ecstasy found at the Mandarin Oriental, but any massage is better than no massage.
