Travel Day
12/09/05 Filed in: Balderdash
As I write this, the entire Eastern Seaboard is being
coated with a semi-liquid white substance, up to 8
inches in some places. This started while we
Easterners slept, at around 4:30 a.m.
I need to make a journey to Staten Island, there to perform the role of Scrooge. The trip usually takes 2 hours by my preferred method, a dazzling public transportation combo of light rail, subway, ferry, bus, and shoe leather. The performance is just about 11 hours from now, and I figure to leave the house at noon....which should put me at the theatre steps in time for half-hour.
The snow is pretty, though,and most sane persons will be taking the day off. Which means, I guess, that I'll be on said public transportation with the crazy ones.
Not so different from the usual routine.
