Ok, this maybe isn’t so much of a rant… just a strong complaint.
There is a Bertucci’s not far from where I live in Cambridge, on Main St (they call it their Kendall Sq. restaurant, but it is really in Central Sq. … I suspect it is wishful thinking on their part) . At one point in time, long long ago, it was your basic run of the mill Bertucci’s. I.e. it served something along the lines of better-than-your-corner-pizza-shop pizza, salads, beer, and the service was OK. We, the young family, would go on occasion if we didn’t feel like cooking and wanted something simple in a child-tolerant setting.
Then the service started to go down hill and the food quality suffered. Things would happen like your server forgetting about your order as it sat getting cold on the counter. Or pizzas that were under-cooked with raw dough in the middle. So we stopped going for a couple of years. We started going again a while back because we had activities in Central in the evenings, tried it again for a quick dinner, and it seemed to work OK (decent food, OK service at times).
Tonight though, it just completely sucked. I already wrote a bunch of feedback which I submitted to the Bertucci’s website, but I figured I might as well dump it here as well to share with potential Googlers. Here is what I said:
Bertucci’s Sucks

On May 27th, 2006 (a Saturday) I took a motorcycle ride down to Nantasket Beach in Hull, MA and took a few photos. If all you want is to cut to the chase and the photos, just go to the gallery page.
Otherwise, read on.
British Motorcycle Meet, Auburn MA
May 28th, 2006
Ok, so I managed to blow it on the MassBIA spring meet… it ended up I had 3 other activities scheduled for that day as well. I do have a chance to redeem myself and head to annual British Motorcycle Meet in Auburn on June 4th.
I think this was one of the first all-British events I ever went to, albeit it just once in the past some 16+ years ago. Here’s hoping that the weather holds out and and my schedule doesn’t have any mystery surprises.
Nothing going on here, move on…
May 14th, 2006Oddly enough, when things are going on in life I fid myself far too busy to even think about working on my website, yet when things are quiet you don’t have much to write about.
Life right now is in a wierd combination of the two: terribly busy in general, but not a whole lot going on. Or at least it seems this way. This is as likely due to the prolonged stretch of rainy weather that we have had here… I haven’t seen any sunshine for a week and a half and the extended forecast doesn’t offer much hope.
I have been able to set a bit of time aside though now and then and worked on my Triumph Speed Triple website, Speed Three. This evening, for example, I have started work on the “bits” section, a page well needed to help me retain the dribs and drabs of info I come across about bike accessories.
