Public Transportation

No time!
I've started doing more stuff in the morning before I go to work. This leaves me precious little blogging time. Ahhh, the trials and tribulations of being a dad.

Yesterday the kid and I took the light rail line over to the central library. I like to pride myself on not really being concerned with my appearance. Compared to some of the people on the light rail I must be extremely vain. What I'm noting is one of the great reasons to take public transportation, people watching. I love it and so does The Kid. We could have rode the rail all day. One poor man had half his ass crack showing. I shouldn't say anything for all I know he could have some sort of illness or who the hell knows what. But the truth of it is that it is tough to get that image out of your head. What can you do?

It was so wonderful to go to the central library with The Kid and to do it on public transportation made it all the better. It was such a less frenetic outing and it seemed like more quality time with her as opposed to all the time we've raced off to the playground. It left me feeling as if I had somehow neglected The Kid during the summer, I kept thinking "why didn't we do things like this more often?"

I hear ass cracks are "in".

And if you're feeling like YOU didn't do enough stuff with The Kid this summer (um, the fair, amusement park, Crater Lake, etc.) imagine what our kid will have to say to her therapist about HER summer. ("All I did was sit around and listen to a crying baby in a really hot house with no air conditioning...")
