It was raining in Los Angeles again as the Sunset Limited pulled out of the station. I sat in silence, as we started moving, watching the city roll by through a rain-streaked window. I took off my jacket, cracked the window and lit up a smoke. The compartment may have been a bit much just for me, but I need the space and quiet. It had been more than a year since Mexico, Kissmy Caboose, the hospital and all that, and I just needed to get away. I was headed to Miami, then on to Havana to meet my Canadian friend Kevin for some sun and cool rum drinks. I had just settled in with a novel, some light reading about the intimate apparel industry, when there was a knock at the door. It was the conductor.

“I just wanted to make sure everything was okay, Mr. Cinderdick”, he said. “My name’s Chad, just let me know if you need anything. Dinner will begin serving at 6:00, unless you want to have something brought here.”

I thanked him and he went on his way to the next compartment. I crushed out the cigarette, laid the book down and closed my eyes, then let the gentle rocking and steady rhythm of the rails ease me into semi consciousness. I thought about the last time I saw Kissmy, standing there next to the phone at the police station, looking helpless as they took her away….

I awoke to the sound of a man and woman having an argument next door. …


Nothing like a dose of fine literature to brighten one's day! I was wondering whatever happened to our favorite detective. Good to have him back.

"I'm right!" the man exclaimed. "NO! I'm right!" screemed the woman. "Certs is a candy mint." "NO! Certs is a breath mint!" "And when the government takes over this passenger service, the thing is gonna run on-time, and the johns will flush."
"But dear, you're not suggesting a socialist system of government ownership of railroads are you?
"It's a good Republican idea to get this thing off the back of the railroads." Don't you think so Pat?" "No I don't, Richard, and get your big schnoz out of that Victoria's Secret catalogue!"

[dinner] Just heard that a national bakery (can't remember the name) has just announced that they will be marketing hot dog buns in 10-packs...this comes under the category of "IT'S ABOUT *** TIME".

Alright, I'll tell you the REAL reason for the disparity of hot dog buns and hot dogs. Hot dog buns do not get dropped in to the fire, so you buy a pack of buns and hot dogs for a cook out and you've got a few extra dogs to replace those that inevitably drop.

Wow... So I can speak Marketer. Being a Computer Science B.S. (Bachellor of Science) major really has made me multi-lingual!
