August is the Longest....

That's right, August was really a month of roughing it.  I experienced the longest commute from lovely Waterbury, CT to Rockville Centre, Long Island.  I should have known this commute was not good when Mom would not leave me at the train station until the train came.  I'm thinking, why?  Am I not safe??  Oh no, "it's ok".  I know that phrase, it's the same in every language, "it's ok" means nothing, everyone in Italy says it and it means nothing, I say it when I want to divert a conversation, or calm a situation down, it means nothing.  Therefore, I was afraid to wait for the train.

Train, what train.  It's broken, get on a bus but you have to wait in line in the rain with your luggage and/or baby, for the train conductor to take your money for a bus ride to another lovely town called Bridgeport.

From there, let's hope you can FIT on the train with a roller board and go to a little station called Grand Central, where I miraculously changed trains within 3 minutes.  Where was my limo???   Where was my driver???  Where is my husband???  Working???  Where was his assistant????  I'll tell you......waiting in line in the rain to get on a bus vs a train.

Trains, Planes, Buses, Automobiles, vans, taxis, bikes......and tricycles!!
