Stop and go

Another train trip last night, another two-hour delay.

But not one person complained.

Our train was held at the station in Philadelphia for over an hour because an Acela near Wilmington hit two people on the tracks.

Both died.

No matter how long I was stuck on that train… how late I was for my meeting… or even how lousy the weather was when I finally arrived in Washington —

It was a great day to be alive.
