Love Like This Life

The guy who lives across the hall from me is out of town, I guess.  His Sunday Washington Post has been just sitting there in front of his door, for days. Here's what I think is funny: As the days go by, people are picking through his paper.  Every day, a different section is on top, and the pile is growing smaller and smaller.  Today it was Style on top.

So, that commuting badge I earned yesterday? Revoked. This morning, I learned that just because a train pulls up with a blue light - does not necessarily mean that it's the BLUE train.  I realized this as the train I was on started crossing a body of water that I did not remember ever crossing before.  It was the yellow line.

So, I got off as soon as possible so I could transfer to the blue line - where I belong. And the COOLEST thing happened. I sat down on the blue train - and who gets on and sits right ACROSS from me?  Chip Reid. Who's Chip Reid, you ask? WELL... he's the Capitol Hill correspondent for NBC News.  We had a lovely conversation which I will never forget, and he has likely already forgotten.

Yellow line special.  It was grand.

And - YES I do have a kitchen, I'll have to post pics of that when I have a sec.
