boys are stupider, send them to...

jupiter!
(Jupiter and me, at South Station in Boston)

Detractors of the boy detective might have thought that I had abandoned my plan to get photos of myself by all the exhibits in the Boston area model solar system. Wrong! When I got back from New York City late Thursday night, I remembered that Jupiter was in the train station. Some investigation revealed that it was in the food court, over on the side where a number of people were sitting. I felt quite self-conscious taking a photo of myself by Jupiter while these young station-hanging-hipsters were sitting a few feet away--not to mention being completely exhausted from my trip--so it's not like I was going for a accurate rendering of my handsome visage or an especially great depiction of the splendor of our largest planet behind me. Nonetheless, it counts, meaning that I now have five down--Mercury, Earth, Mars, Jupiter, and Neptune--and five to go: the three remaining planets, Pluto, and the Sun.

hate to break it to you my man, but pluto is no longer a planet. good news is that you're now even closer to completing this quest.

This is why I distinguished Pluto from "the three remaining planets." To my knowledge, it's still out there waiting for me at the Riverside T Stop on the green line.
