Icy!

I'm back to New Jersey after a wonderful Christmas visit to my parents house in Buffalo, NY. The weather upstate was all over the place this past weekend. My plane landed in dense fog. A steady rain melted all of the snow, flooded everything and then froze overnight, creating the winter wonderland you see in these images. Luckily the waters receded, the temperatures dropped and snow fell just in time for a white Christmas.

I wore this outfit for a day shopping with my dad. He took a look at me and asked "Are you going shopping like that?" I countered him with the same question. He looked at his flannel and jeans and answered yes. Off shopping we went.

I have also discovered that dog fur doesn't stick to neoprene. It's the only fabric I'm wearing on my next visit home.

Commuter Style

I'm at it again. I've rejoined the ranks of the commuters! Though I'm not a traditional tri-state area commuter. I'm not taking the train to my fancy job in Manhattan. I'm taking the NJT from northern NJ to Princeton, NJ! From my apartment in Montclair, it's about 90 minutes by train to Princeton. By car it's 60 minutes, if there's no traffic. Which is never. Taking the train is way better. I can nap.

Ninety minutes on the train is actually a shorter commute than I used to do each day. I was a double river commuter for my previous job. To those not aware of the intricacies of commuting in the NYC area, a double river commute means I had to rely on two different transportation departments to function properly. And because one of those two departments is the Long Island Railroad, I was home late all the time.
