Heat & Humidity ... Trains, Planes, Automobiles

I suffered a heat wave on the East Coast this past weekend... never ever have I been so sticky, so sweaty, so sunburnt, etc... but, it was a great, memorable weekend with Katie - lots of laying around, a trip to the shore, some good movies, some quality girl time indeed.

hopped on a train (that was 20 minutes late) at around 1:15 EST --- went a ways down the track until it lost electricity (huh?) and we stopped and we sat there …. In the 95 degrees, 50% humidity weather… no big deal… I kept a cool head (not literally). Train broke down a second time about 20 minutes later, so everyone got off the train and got on a new train… the new train didn’t break down. Once I got to Penn Station, I grabbed a cab and off to La Guardia we went… cab had AC – things were good. Got to the airport around 3--- had a few beers, watched some soccer games, saw the Yankees lose, --- all fun airport stuff. Hopped on my 5:30 EST LGA to Denver flight… and sat on the tarmac for an hour – WHAT? – it didn’t matter, I was sleeping. Apparently. LaGaurdia is known for their “long line” to take off – neato. So, we took off. There were only 2 screaming babies on the flight… but other than that - landed safely in Denver, boarded an on-time flight to Sac and I was home at last...
