Family Business



My big brother Josh drove down for the weekend to accompany me at Sunday's Bruins-Canadiens hockey match. Things didn't go as well as planned for our Canadiens (we lost in overtime, snapping a 14-game winning streak over Boston) but still had a nice weekend visiting the Gardner Museum, catching some live music at Matt Murphy's, and sampling the Middle Eastern fair at, well, the Middle East.

I've been babbling to Josh about the wonders of rideshare for some time now, as you all can imagine. Unlike me, he owns a car and I've been trying to convince him to stuff it with ridesharers on his next weekend roadtrip.


But Josh has been hesitant, asking typical rideshare-skeptic (some may say prudent) questions such as, "How do I know the person isn't a weirdo?" or "What if they run off without paying for gas?"

After reading this blog and hearing me wax philosophic about rideshare, Josh finally decided to give it a go.





Meet Els, a 27-year-old ice-cream maker (!) and veterinary assistant from Iberville, Quebec.


Els, Josh, and the rest of his backseat crew hit it off immediately, talking relationships, music, and - you guessed it - ice cream!

You don't have to take my word for it, but I think Josh was sold.
