God, There’s Something F-ing Odd About That Man On My Train
Nice to see MyEffingCommute back in the blog game after, oh, six months off. Effing sees Jesus swigging from a 40-dogger on the Metro-North. We were in a communal 6 pack seat, three facing three, and Jesus quickly put his … Continue reading

I did NOT have sex with that conductor! [emphatically points right index finger] They’re on your train every day, and then they disappear. You probably don’t notice their disappearance for some time; after all, they’re not friends of yours, just … Continue reading

What Really Happens On Old House Lane
This bit of Westchester commuter humor before I sign off for the week comes from Jimmy Fallon. A woman who lives a mile from the Clintons in Chappaqua, New York has been charged with prostitution. The woman said she hates … Continue reading
On the Road Again
I actually like my infrequent trips to Julio Bicycles in Chappaqua. The guys are super-friendly, their stellar rapport with their customers is immediately apparent, they know a ton about bikes, and they have a gorgeous flat panel TV; when I … Continue reading
Men II Boyz on the 8:16
