When I started working for the new firm I decided to start riding Trax to and from work to decrease the size of my carbon footprint. Riding a train to work has quickly become the most favorite part of my day behind my morning cup of coffee, which lets face it, will always be the most important and favorite part of my day.

My fascination with riding the train probably stems from my fascination with people, because when I board the train it’s like oddities are exploding all around me. And I realize it’s very foolish to talk about odd people when I may as well walk around with a large sign displaying ‘FREAK’ on my chest. But these people. are. WEIRD. Never in my life have I wanted to accuse someone of being inbred than I do each day on the train.

On Monday afternoon after catching the train in-between third and second south, I was awed by how many people had whipped out a very large and final book of Harry Potter. I didn’t realize how much I actually fit in with these people until I realized the only thoughts going through my head were, “I can’t believe he’s already read to that page” and “I’m so going home and reading past that.”

If someone on that train notices how crooked my bottom teeth are they might think we’re related.
