In my own little world

Thursday, March 2, 2006 - 6:55 p.m.

I sat down on an aisle seat. It was after the gym so I was a little foggy and focused on my crossword puzzle (which I finished). Then I moved onto the soduku -- which I messed up.

The only people I noticed were two large men in CTA uniforms. I could not tell if they were off work or were the train bouncers.

As I approached Addison, the woman sitting next to me asked to get out. I looked at her and realized she is a regular at Davenport's, Rachel. We spent the whole ride not knowing the other person was there. How often am I on the train complete unaware of my surroudings? Even now, with this blog.

A little scary in retrospect ...
