Who is ...

I know I have said this before, but I want to join the club that happens to be out and about on the "el" at non-rush hour times.

Who was the man ... who was wearing a retainer and met a very excited effete man with a gold wedding band?

Who was the man ... who bailed on the gym yesterday and will be doing pecs and shoulders today before going to work (he mentioned this on his cell phone)?

Who were the men ... who had a conversation in an unrecognizable language but then answered the phone in perfect unaccented English?

Who was the woman ... that had to change seats to sit behind her companion so he could hear all her stories better?

Who are these people who do not have to be chained to a desk in a cubicle from 9-5 every day?

This was the most non-descript train ride. So non-descript, I cannot describe any detail of it. Except for the fact that I am extremely enjoying my book, The History of Love, A Novel.
