let me ruminate ...

I think that gaydar increases on the "el". There is a train full of people and I take a look around to see who is on the train, who will I be commenting on in my blog. Now, I do not have good gaydar anyway but my eyes immediately find a gay man this morning who is also staring back at me. This happens frequently and not just to me but to my friends as well. My sluttiest single friend seems to always be checking out some hottie on the train (his words not mine). Does the metal concentrate the gay vibe so it is easier to spot?

This morning was a first that I did work on the train. I was supposed to edit a document last night but instead watched TV and created a new cocktail with my boyfriend. It was strange trying to work in this new environment - I do not know how people do it. Reading is one thing but concentrating on a work task is another. Most people probably use the morning commute to ease into the work day and doing work on the train is just like smacking your head with a two-by-four.
