Busy & Tired...that's how I'd describe the last couple of weeks. My honeymoon was great! But we took the red eye back from Hawaii/LA so I could get back to New York in time to take another plane to Denver (for the DNC, for work). It all contributed to a hazy/tired feeling that only recently subsided.
I live on Long Island now. I said goodbye to Hoboken on July 31. Instead of the bus, I take the train. I like the train; I can read the paper on my way in. There was one funny train-related thing that happened this week. It was rush hour and I was going home. I was sitting by the window in a 3-seat row. The middle seat was empty and far left seat was taken. Just as the train was about to pull out, a woman sits in the middle seat. There were empty middle seats in front and behind me but, of course, she sat next to me.
It was uncomfortable. I'm a big guy, she was a somewhat large woman and the guy was big too. There wasn't much room to chill. But after a few stops, thankfully, the guy got off. Problem solved, right? Wrong. She never moved over!
Socially awkward
I was getting mad and was very close to asking her to move over. But then I thought, let's see how long this lasts. She didn't move until she got up to leave the train. I never have and I never will understand people.
Cara and I don't have a house yet but hopefully soon. I love being married.
Best,
Bob
