I am so proud of Amtrak this morning! I've always been a fan. It feels like such a comfortable, safe way to make short trips. And, frankly, since we bill travel costs back to our client, I wish we would all take the train to their downstate offices because it's so much cheaper than driving, what with gas prices at about $3.75/gallon.
But now with the new highspeed rail, I'm zipping along past the cornfields on schedule and faster than the cars on highway. My wifi connection is solid enough to allow me to answer a couple emails and update this here old blog.
Here's hoping the rest of my workday goes as smoothly as the commute!
These are the thoughts and observations of me — a woman of a certain age. (Oh, my, God, I'm 65!) I'm single. I'm successful enough (independent, self supporting). I live just outside Chicago, the best city in the world. I'm an aunt and a friend. I feel that voices like mine are rather underrepresented online or in print. So here I am. If my musings resonate with you, please visit my blog again sometime.
