On Wednesday March 14th, I posted my list of Annoying Subway people. I got a lot of fun responses to the list, so I planned on doing a follow-up. But then I thought about it. I thought, “Am I mocking other people because I don’t [...]

Sweet sassy.  Look at this!!  It’s a blog by a guy that chronicles his daily trips on the LIRR and Subway.  Buuuut then he drops in little tidbits about his weight lifting.  Kinda weird.  Anway,  it is what it is.
