When I got up in my hotel room this morning, I flipped on the news while I got ready and one of the news anchors said, “Well, we made it to Friday. Again.”

Wow, dude! Way to grab life by the horns and be optimistic about what’s out there for you.

I do have to say, though, my super early wake-up call had me grouchy, but then I arrived at Penn Station to take the train from New York City to Baltimore and it is niiiiiiiice.

Why can’t the rest of the country have express trains?

No getting to the airport an hour in advance. No waiting in line to go through security. No getting undressed and unpacking your bags to go through security. No walking 36 miles to your gate (O’Hare is big!). No cattle call to get on. No shutting everything down for takeoff and landing. And WiFi the entire way.

Just show up 10 minutes before, grab a latte, get on the train, and start working (or reading or watching movies).

It seems like a no-brainer to me.

Who do I need to talk to about getting this done?

While I figure that out, you can check out this week’s Gin and Topics. (more…)
