guys on the train

the other day, i went to chicago for work and i decided to visit my cousin. actually, she's my grandma's cousin, but i think that makes her my cousin too. i took the metra out to lagrange. she lives in a really nice assisted living place. started out in a cottage twelve years ago and is now in an apartment getting help on a daily basis. but she's still so independent. i am so proud of her. and we such a wonderful visit.

but that was not what i intended to write about. really, it's about the guys on the train. i found myself surrounded by men in suits, headed for the suburbs. they cracked open their cans of beer and talked about sales and networking. it was this strange community. so different than anything i'd seen before. the two guys in front of me were swilling their miller lite. the two guys across the aisle had guinness. the miller guys tried to arrange a trade, but failed miserably. a hilarious sight to behold, i tell you.

and now i'm off to bed. in pittsburgh. marriott city center. so exciting.
