Kids do the darnest thing. Especially when they are a bit older than the cute stage. Is this Kid really wearing a bra outside HIS shirt?  

Summertime

Summer is officially here and I find myself laboring under the delusion that, somehow, commuting will now be easier. Everyone is on vacation now right? Somehow it doesn't appear to be playing out quite like that. This morning we were standing room only on the 7:40 out ...

I'm going to make a product endorsement. Several weeks ago I received an Amazon Kindle for doing some work for another web site. (Who says you can't make any money on the internet?). It's really the perfect commuter tool for those of you who like to read ...

Not So Ugly People

Several weeks ago I posted a rant with the provocative title Ugly People. It described the unappealing people that share my commute and a lament that the more attractive folks are going places where I am not.. This wasn't the blog that I intended it to be. I've gotten ...

Just DO IT :-)

Holiday Weekends

On Monday we'll be celebrating the Memorial Day holiday. Most people don't exactly know what they are celebrating but it's the official kickoff for the summer season. A few minutes ago I received an e-mail from the VP in charge of our division informing us that the ...

Ugly People

Sometimes I feel like my bus line has the ugliest people in the New York region. I see lots of people in the bus station and walking to and from the terminal that are interesting looking, well dressed, and ready to conquer the world. On my line they are ...

Are We Theirs Yet?

I sit wondering while I commute. How much is too much? Ok, so one day I rode the subway & buses for less than a buck, once there was a coin with a hole in it which was useful to pay for a ride and heck I recall seeing police ...

Extreme Commuting

I used to think that my commute was bad. Over an hour door to door on a good day. I was pretty miserable. Then I started meeting people at work whose commute made mine look like a stroll down the street. About 2 years ago I hired ...

What Not to Wear Thursday – Blue’s Clues

Sitting on the subway a while back i thought I'd share some tips on how to travel like a Movie star while on the subway. Tip #1 - No one can get off the train until you get on. Allowing ...

I Hate Being Right

Deep in the National news section of Saturday's New York Time ran this headline: Massachusetts: Text Messaging Before a Trolley Crash For the full story see - http://www.nytimes.com/2009/05/09/us/09brfs-INJURIESINBO_BRF.html?_r=1&scp=5&sq=trolley&st=cse The first thing that popped into my mind after reading this and the followup story the next ...

When I jump on the Bus/Train I…

So, recently I started paying more attention to what I do before boarding the train or bus. When I'm done kicking that song out of my head that has been following my spirit, after I have smiled a few times about what yesterday offered and giving THNX4 my blessings, I ...

Productivity

There was a long time that I thought my hour long commute each way to work was a fantastic waste of time.  Just think of the things that I could be doing or the fun I could be having if I didn’t have this enforced confinement twice a day, five ...

Your turn!

Ok, so I have had quite a few, shall we say, "interesting" episodes while commuting. I was just going to blog about another "interesting" episode when I thought I would step back this time and let other people have their say. So I ask you this simple question: "What "interesting" ...

Does it Get Better Than This?

Despite the fact that I live in the suburbs, I have a choice on how to get to work. New Jersey Transit runs both buses and trains from my town to midtown Manhattan. When I first moved to Westfield 14 years ago I never considered anything but the train. ...

Travel Thoughts

As we travel, we aim in one direction and think in many. How much of a day’s travel do we really invest in embracing the existences around us or even our very own existence? When we pass by a spectacular ocular attraction, what exactly makes us notice it? Can we ...
