Me & my James Maxey took a car to take a train to take a subway to take a commuter rail today. We are now outside of Boston, ten states away from our morning coffee.
We went to DC, NYC and Providence. We’ve been in the air, over the water, under the ground. We’ve been alone and one of 12 million people, all in one day.
Books to me are the best traveling companions. This is the book that’s going to be my comfort and my friend through the duration of this trip. They are the secure locker for my tickets and my physical security blanket when worried and lost. This will make you laugh– I literally stock my nose in their pages when the stench of mass transit is too much for my delicate Country Bumpkin nose. They are my quick escape from the hassle and jostle of the press of humanity.
What books have you had with you on your far flung travels?
I do that too! I put my train tickets, plane tickets, parking pass, whatever in my book, and then I always know where that stuff is.
I think my most recent travel companion was Madeline Ashby’s vN. When everyone else had to turn off their kindles and i-pads on the airplane, I was still enjoying my book.
