This older married black couple on the uptown 1 train caught my eye. I assumed they just got out of seeing a Broadway musical based on the Jersey Boys Playbill in Husband's hand. (I am SO astute, I know!) Husband was really excited and was humming parts of the musical and happily pointing out actors in the Playbill to Wife. As the train rolled on he continued humming and eventually Wife started humming too. She was sitting next to me, and he was standing in front of her and I almost wanted to get up so they could sit together and cuddle. ALMOST. It was late and I was tired. Plus, who is to say they were even going to cuddle? I was probably over-romancing the whole scenario in my pre-conditioned Hollywood infiltrated boy hearts girl 4-ever-n-ever mind anyway. Then when a large person sat on the other side of Wife and she was noticeably squished, Husband asked if she was alright with a concerned look on his face. All I could think was dang, it's one thing to take care of your partner when you are young but to be that old and in love must take some work. A short time later, as I got off on my stop I turned around briefly, just long enough to notice Husband sitting down next to his mate, grasping her hand and Wife subsequently resting her head safely on his shoulder.



I am such a sucker for this crap.

I went to dum dum DUM...New Jersey today! What a ridiculously complicated experience. "First take the subway to the PATH and then take the PATH to the lightrail and then take the lightrail to NJ street and then from NJ street simply hail a cab to my apartment." easy as pie. I went for a BBQ with some new friends I have met in the city. Yes, yours truly is making friends. awwwwww. I almost had a heart attack when I found out they pay 1500 hundred for a gorgeous three bedroom with a back yard and beautiful view of the city. BUT then again, they live in New Jersey and it takes an army of vehicles to go the three miles it takes to get to Manhattan. So there.

On another note, I also got a really great summer job teaching drama. Now if I could only sort out my own drama, I'd be fine...
