Well, here is a quick re-cap of my day…
First, I take an early train to the City, take the #3 subway down to 14th street and go to a meeting, in the middle of the meeting the power goes out; first questions on my mind were:
1. Is this a terrorist attack
2. Is the city in “Lock Down” mode
3. How the !@#$ am I going to get to my meeting in queens on time???
Well, I go down to the F train, and find that it has been shut down, as well as most of the other subway trains. I walk up to 34th street (20 blocks ::groan::) and find out that the subway lines up there aren’t working either. Then I go to Penn Station, and catch a train to Jamaica, I get picked up at Jamaica by my Aunt & Cousin, they bring me over to their friends house – we go over the details of the book – they drop me off at a train stop that is 2 stops away from Jamaica (I got it for free tho as they didn’t check for tickets) get off at Jamaica, walk down two flights of steps only to find out that the train I am supposed to take to get home is coming in across the platform where I *JUST* got off so I run back up three flights of stairs and make it all the way home (27 minutes later) to Hicksville Station, call my house – find out that one of our house guests is there, ask for a ride home (as I didn’t have the car) and get a “no” so an 8 dollar taxi cab ride later, I wind up back at home, tired and then I grab the car and take the guests out to dinner…
Needless to say, it has been a LOOOOOOOOOONG day!
