Hard Up.

We rode the train. THE train. Commuter rail has arrived. As part of the hype you could ride for free, so we took the kiddies to experience metropolitan splendor. The crowds were large. The smells were smelly. It was almost like we were really in New York or DC, except when we looked out the windows, we were passing cattle and backyards with trampolines. And, there were trillions of kids on board instead of hordes of suit-wearing, Blackberry-talking executives. After our ‘trip’, we went to get sandwiches at Gandolfo’s. As I sat there gazing at the poster of the Chrysler Building and eating my Long Island Chicken Salad, I almost---ALMOST----felt like we were on a vacation. Yeah. Really. Can someone [Chad] please buy this girl a ticket and send me somewhere? I really need some travel therapy. Soon.

Overheard...

...on the walk (yes! it's nice enough to WALK!) to church:

I love to look at the sunshine, and the sunshine loves to look at me!
