TJ is on vacay starting in, oh, 3 hours and 15 minutes, and probably unable and unwilling to post.
In my stead is the capable and charming Straphanger Joe, who will be maintaining Trainjotting next week, and adding his observations from the subways.
Joe is an old friend, an astute observer and a talented writer. He’s contributed his “Straphanger Joe” musings to this site--dozens of entertaining essays, in fact–for most of the 3-plus years Trainjotting has been in existence.
We’re psyched to see what he comes up with next week.
Upon our return, every iota of last week’s snow will be gone, and sunset will be late enough so that we will be able to see a hint of the bright yellow ball and all its radiance poking over the mid-Westchester hills to the west as we return home after work.
If neither of these wishes are met, we’ll have to embark on another vacation until they are.
