the subway





this week i am in toronto for work. it is the annual conference of h.r. peeps with the usual collection of merriment and learning. the event holds about 200 people so they tend to put us up at some fancy ass hotel that can house all the going-ons. so for two nights i could stay there, and the other nights stay where i usually stay at the marriott. i chose to stay at the marriott and travel to the events.

tonight there was a gig downtown at front and king. i walked down there, about 50 minutes but on the way back decided to ride the ttc. it is an interesting way to se the towns people...all types, all walks, all economic status and even some mexican tourists. i dont mind the opportunity to people watch so "taking the train" as they call it here, is soothing and entertaining.

tonight i rode thinking . and as the stations flew by and the train hiccuped and weaved through the tunnels i felt my heart skip a beat. the italian beauty who owns a piece of me rides with me daily no matter the city or the mode. and so it goes.
