Sugar doesn't even DISSOLVE in already-cold tea, you just get a pile of sugar at the bottom. :|

I occasionally get a raspberry iced tea at the coffeeshop by the bus stop when I don't have the required change for the bus, and I dump sugar in, and... then I have to sort of try and suck up a proportionate amount with each sip. And chew it, because their non-artificial sweetener is Sugar In The Raw and has huge crystals. It is less than ideal.

Congratulations on the move. When we go visit the kids (MI), I never even bother ordering tea at a restaurant.

I am especially loving how pedestrian-friendly everything is here compared to Georgia. It's just weird being able to actually walk places for more than a few blocks!

Though the politics are definitely a lot nicer too... a conservative by Massachusetts standards is downright liberal by Georgia standards, heh.

Awesome! Boston is a lovely city. I'm really glad to hear things are going well!
