Lesson One
Never ride the subway with me.

All last week, I was guaranteed that as soon as I hit the subway platform, the train I needed was just pulling out of the station. But today's Monday, so I thought maybe it was a new ballgame for me. Indeed, it was.

It starts like this:

9:50 a.m. "The train's emergency brakes were activated. It is now under investigation."

Would you believe I was in the last car of the B train between DeKalb and Atlantic -- not much unlike during the blackout when I was in the last car of the Q train between the same two stations.

There's more, but my Sprint cell phone service still isn't working, so I'm actually typing this from a Kinko's on 53rd Street. You know I had to actually use a pay phone on Madison Avenue this morning? Eww. They still cost 25 cents, by the way.
