Deep Thoughts

This morning I was fortunate enough to get a window seat on the train on my way to work. There is something so relaxing and peaceful about traveling on the train. I had a book with me – but found myself instead staring out the window deep in thought. It’s amazing the things that float in and out of your mind when you just let it wander. It’s a shame that the US doesn’t invest more in rail travel as an alternative to cars. We’d probably have a nation of much smarter people – what with all the additional time to think and daydream as opposed to focusing our attention on road rage and imagined offenses that require a revenge cut-off or finger flip. This is definitely one area where the Europeans have us beat!
