STRIKE 2005!
It's about 9 AM, the time I would usually be numbly stumbling the nine blocks I walk every day to get to the A train. Or, as happens pretty often, thinking "Shit! I'm running really fucking late. I've got to leave! But does this sweater match my shirt?" Not today, however, as we're all knee-deep in Transit Strike 2005.
While part of me wishes that I was out looking at all of the workaholic NYCers braving the cold just to get today's fix, a far larger part of me is happy to be in bed with my girlfriend, watching other people be cold. I'm also watching several transit-beat reporters who seem to have decided to cope with the stress of reporting from the same cramped conference room for the last 12 hours by getting coked out of their minds(I'm looking at you, NBC-twitchy-face!). All in all, it's shaping up to be a great day.

Chris, I'm sure you're busy, but tomorrow I'm coming into NYC for a day, visiting some museums with my dad. If you get this before then let me know.
