        WHERE:  Lynneeee and Steveeeee McCormick's house
                220 Mechanic Street, Upton.

	HOW TO GET THERE:

 The best way to get there, in my opinion, is to hop onto Rt.495 South.  Unless
 of course you live south of Upton in the first place, in which case you would
 go north.  I must say that the directions should be easier to follow in the
 light than after dark, both because the paper will be easier to read and
 because the turns will be easier to see.  And boy is this place remote!  There
 is very little around that part of Upton, or, I imagine, Upton in general.
 The place was described to me by it's owners as a small dwelling with a bit of
 yard and a lean-to in back.  In fact, the house is huge, the yard is twice the
 size of Lew's, and the barn in back could serve as the servants' quarters! What
 they do in so much space is hard to imagine.  Especially without furniture. But
 back to the directions...

 [1]  From Rt.495 South, take the "Upton, W. Main Street" exit.  This is the
    exit following the exit for the Mass Turnpike.  Not hard to remember.

 [2]  The exit ramp for the "Upton, W. Main Street" exit merges on to West Main
    street, which means I don't have to tell you to go right because that's the
    only way to go.

 [3]  Stay to the right and go straight through the light.  You'll pass the
    Sticky Wicket on the left.  While it sounds slightly sleazy (what is Wicket
    and WHY is it sticky?), I think it's only a pub with occasional comedy
    nights.

 [4]  Go 3.5 miles along West Main Street.  Pay attention to the odometer,
    because there are few real landmarks.

 [5]  There's a place called Angel Gardens along the way.  The sign outside
    shows an angel flying over crops sprinkling water from a can.  This marks
    the small but important agricultural region of Upton, which grows mostly
    flowers and small shrubbery.

 [6]  Just about 3.5 miles down the road, there will be a lake on your left and
    a "Speed Limit 35" sign on your RIGHT.  This lake won't be the only lake
    you see, but it will be the ONLY "Speed Limit 35" sign, since the other
    speed signs say 40 to 45 mph.  When you see this sign, you should brake
    drastically and look for the SHARP RIGHT onto Westboro Road.  The right is
    angled back toward the way you came, and is hard to see.  At least at night.

 [6a] If you see a sign saying "Fire Station Left", you've gone too far and
    should turn around.  Don't feel bad though.

 [7]  After the RIGHT turn onto Westboro Road (which I didn't see marked, so I
    don't know why I'm stressing the name), go 1.2 miles to North Street.  It's
    the THIRD LEFT, right after "Eames Ln, Dead End".  The sign for North St.
    is high up on a pole on the right hand sign.  There is a stone marker at
    the intersection.  It says "Here lies the body of Gilliam North, who refused
    to move."  Apparently he was crushed while building the road, sort of like
    those Iraqui soldiers hiding in the trenches.  Pleas don't hit this.

 [8]  After the LEFT onto North St., go 0.8 miles and turn LEFT onto Mechanic
    Street.  It will be the first LEFT after North St.

 [9]  The first mailbox after Grafton Steet on the right marks the abode of
    Lynneeee and Steveeeee, who have a lot of vowels in their names.  As a note,
    in their native land the pronounciations involve a high-pitched squeal at
    the end.  It was dropped after immigration.

 [10] Park along Grafton St. and Mechanic St.  Look out for poison ivy.  And if
    you have trouble, remember it's "Lew! Lew! lew!"
