Here's Loyal Reader Number One and a group of
Another crowded trip on the train. There are about 150 eighth-graders up in the front cars this afternoon, and it shows. Practically every seat on the train is taken. They know ahead of time when one of these student groups is coming, of course. It would be nice if they would add an extra car to handle the crowd. Maybe they don't have an extra car. But I suspect they do. Sigh.
In any case, it's still more pleasant to being crowded in here watching video podcasts (Strongbad emails! (link warning: Strongbad sings) dl.tv! MacBreak!) and writing the blog than to be in the car. At least for now.
My world is back in alignment today. The problem was, you see, that I rode the train in to work one day WAY back in September or October. I bought Loyal Reader Number One's car that day, so I drove home, thus leaving my train ticket unevenly punched. This situation propagated across a few more tickets, leaving my cosmic balance seriously . . . ummm . . . unbalanced. Well, I was complaining about this situation to my friend Dan a couple of weeks ago, when he pulled out a ticket with a single ride left on it. A couple of days before Christmas, a friend offered him a ride home. Hence, his world was unbalanced. I bought his single ride today and am using it on this trip. Ahhh . . . balance.
Maybe I already mentioned this issue on these pages. Anyway, I think it was amusing that Dan never used the odd ride on his ticket. He couldn't stand to be out of balance either.
My broken toe is much better today. It's just barely numb and as long as I don't walk much, it doesn't really hurt. I had to call the shuttle bus this morning and afternoon. They actually came! The danger here is that I'll get too used to calling the shuttle bus and won't get any exercise anymore. Must . . . walk . . . between . . . buildings.
Loyal Readers Numbers Five, Six, and Twelve headed for home today. We were sorry to see them go. I expect it to be pretty quiet around Chateau Saindouxville this evening. Maybe it will be easier to get to bed on time, though.
And that's about it for today. See you tomorrow.

Well, it didn't wind up being any easier to get to bed on time. But I got a lot of work done for Bro. Whitaker and got paid a lot. I'm very pleased with how my work circumstances are working out.
I'm glad to hear that your world is back in balance - you've always had a little trouble with that! I'm also happy to hear that your broken toe is better. I did that once and it does hurt a lot - but don't give up walking - you need the exercise at your age!!
Nobody likes broken toes. Mine just got better last month. School is going swimmingly. Japanese is easier than it looks and the math is going well too. I think I will do JPN102 in the second half of the summer. I am also very pleased with my current circumstances. Woohoo!
By the way, who's the freaky 70's reject with his eyes closed?
