Friday Friends

Need a tip for making a new friend?  Try cracking open a box of wine and offering a plastic cup of pinot grigio to your seat partner.  I'm telling you, it really works.  At least it did this evening for my seat partner.  She said she always brings an extra cup in hopes someone will share a drink with her, but often people decline.  I'm not shy though.  I really appreciated the offer.  It has been a rough week and while every Friday I hear other people celebrating, I had not yet experienced my first train happy hour.  It was exactly what I needed --- both the drink and the friend.  So we thudded our plastic glasses together and toasted to the weekend.  Now that's what I call commuting!
