today in history (2001)...

Aug 11, 2009 13:10

...I was on an Amtrack train, about 2 hours into a trip to a rather oddly named station called Croton-Harmon, to meet someone I had knew only from online chatting, excited to be on the first solo vacation of my life.

Your poor thing. Have another cocktail.

I could have had one on the train, but they were a fortune...something like $12 US each.

Amateur. I thought Anglicans knew enough to pack a hip flask.

I'm only an Anglican by baptism. I'm basically an atheist/skeptic/humanist by practice.

I see you've learned to spell Croton-Harmon in the interim.

I thought I had misspelled it. Isn't it actually Croton-Haldimand?

Good luck on your adventure!!!

Ummm...just to clarify, I'm describing something that I did on this day in 2001 (past tense).

I'm at home at the moment and not traveling anywhere.

Blush. That's what I get for not reading headers.
