It was a long ride with the many announcements "We delayed waiting for signals ahead. We expect to be moving shortly" mixed with the someone is fixing the train you are riding on announcement. At one point I was disoriented in my paper and thought, CRAP, we have only gone 5 stops.

Besides that, it was uneventful. Until the large man sat down. I must have some odor where the large people (and I really don't mean fat, I mean big men) are attracted to sitting next to me. Today had the added bonus of large and fidgetty. This man spent a lengthy period of time searching his bag for some specific belonging. Flipping pages of his RedEye was an effort even though he was just flipping back and forth between the sports pages.
