The Straphanger Singer…..

No, I did not run into “The Straphanger Singer” again. For those who do not know who “The Straphanger Singer” is, please visit this entry for all the important information.
I finally got around to uploading some of the audio recordings I made of him singing. Thankfully my mp3 player has a built in microphone or [...]


All Over……

So the date was August 2nd & the forecast was disgusting! I needed to make a quick deposit at the bank. However I had no patience to ride the subway during normal business hours. You know what this meant, another overnight bank run!
I hopped a ride to the train station & got dropped off at [...]

I had been debating which combination of trains I was [...]
