Quiet Train Ride

The ride to work was very low key today. No one had to shoe-horn themselves onto the train and wedge themselves against the door. It was a very civilized ride. I even got a seat! Most people seem to be taking the week off (except for my office-grrr). There was plenty of room to scan the rows for Christmas booty (no, not that kind, I mean definition 3. A valuable prize, award or gain). It seemed like a lot of people were sporting new hats and scarves. I also saw someone in a gorgeous new grey alpaca overcoat. Very nice. The woman next to me was carrying a beautiful shiny leather handbag in a deep chocolate. Wow. I can't wait to hit the post-holiday sales. Too bad payday isn't till Friday.
