Carpool (Archive from December 22, 2005)

So actually the transit strikewas nowhere near as bad as I thought it would be. I mean I'm glad it's over but because of this little inconvenience, I got to experience something that only Americans who don't live in New York City get to experience -- car pooling. It was so fun! We told jokes, and sang Sheena Easton songs at TV crews, and drank coffee, and ate chocolate, and told more jokes and reminisced. Unlike a majority of New Yorkers, I was actually lucky enough to carpool with people I went to college with and it happened to be 2 of the people that always manage to make me laugh until I cry -- actually cry. Abby can tell you when we were walking down 2nd Avenue earlier tonight looking for Kristen's car, there were tears streaming down our cheeks. I do not exaggerate. Anyway, it was fun. I'm happy the subways are running again though.
