ANOTHER CUP OF JOE

It’s early Monday morning and I’m enjoying my first cup of coffee while relaxing in my bathrobe and big woolen socks. I’m looking at my cat, Quiet Rustle, who is looking back at me. We are both listening to the radio.  The news program has gotten to the familiar segment known as “traffic on the threes.”

As we sit there, comfortably starting our week, we listen to the various traffic jams afflicting the region.   It sounds like everybody’s having a bad time going to work. Except me and my cat.   But I haven’t left for work yet. And that’s the problem.

I have resumed working at the office downtown. Unfortunately, thousands of my closest friends have also resumed working downtown.   So, it is time to pick my poison.   Do I drive in to work and deal with the traffic?  Or do I take the train and deal with the breakdowns and lousy service.

I look at Quiet Rustle and he looks at me.

Time for another cup of joe.
