Alex: And it's such a great building - mostly grad students like me! Joanie: Mostly students? You sure you want me around, dear? Alex: Let me ask my new little iPhone buddy. Hey, Siri! Should my grams and I share a place in Boston? Joanie: Who are you... Voice: Time will tell. What part of Boston? Alex: Back Bay. Find bridge clubs.

Now we know who’s been stealing the iPhone prototypes.

I’m impressed by her magic 8-ball program in her iPhone.

Is there an app for getting rid of ex wives?
SusanSunshine Premium Member about 13 years ago
Siri is a real app: SIRI
Coyoty Premium Member about 13 years ago
Siri is still flawed. Sometimes it can’t see the relational trees for the 4S.

What happened to Leo??

in japanese, siri or shiri means ass.
Jessy Wheeler Premium Member about 13 years ago
What Susan said. Unless it’s a cruddy garden level apartment, no way two recent college grads could afford to live there. It’d be more realistic for them to be in Jamaica Plain or Allston or Brighton or really anywhere but Back Bay.

@masterskrain, I do believe you’re right. That’s a little freaky. Still, Joanie always saw Lacey as a role model…

Ummm, Ok. Boring strip. Let’s get back to Perry’s implosion and Cain’s dark-horse status.

Leo’s out in Seattle, vcpro—where Mike lives and where he raised Alex (that’s why she said “to come see Leo” yesterday).By finding her an apartment in Back Bay—-right across the Mass Ave bridge from M.I.T.—-GBT locates Alex with her Gram at the heart of Boston’s shabby genteel, student community.Either generation worries about the other. We may be getting a replay of Mike’s troubles with his radical mother—-who finally died last year, after she embarrassed Mike by publicly burning her Medicare card.

How’d she get hers before Oct. 14?

I hope GT is getting paid for product placement.

6 × 9 = 54

But 6 × 7 is a winner

You must be right. When Alex invited Drew to meet Leo back in June, Drew took the train (Eastern seaboard Amtrak).GBT usually associates guns and violence with the West Coast. In his arc at the end of January, following Gifford’s shooting, GBT draws Mike contemplating the violence from his house in the Northwest.

Joanie & Rick (& Jeff) live in Arlington — note the Washington Monument visible in yesterday’s & today’s backgrounds! Remember the Red Rascal riding his horse (Petraeus!) over the rooftops of Arlington? Leo & his Mom live somewhere in the DC/Northern Virginia ’burbs. NOT in Seattle.
Joanie is indeed looking a lot like Lacey Davenport in this arc!
