and, so I begin.....

During the last couple of weeks, I've had the true pleasure of live, face to face interaction with quite a few people who I usually only see on Facebook - a college buddy from the east coast, my son-in-law's family, West Point Parents Club alumni and pipe band parents. How cool is that?

A surprising number of people said they enjoyed reading my Facebook posts from the bus and at least one person suggested starting a blog. I was pleased, since I sometimes worry that my commuter angst is a bit too whiny and self serving.

Without further encouragement, I begin my adventures in bus blogging.

Of course, on the day when I could use about 30 idle minutes to achieve beginner blogging perfection, traffic is light and I hurtle towards the 99th St. Transit Center at warp speed.
