I took the subway to work for five years when I was first married, and then the commuter train for another 25, so I can easily envision the scene you described, right down to the woman applying her makeup and the conversation. loribethhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09272814565916935113noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5544913458028415917.post-90630224610837873892015-02-19T15:37:31.867-05:002015-02-19T15:37:31.867-05:00What a beautiful recounting.
