After taking a 5-hour bus ride to New York and a 5 1/2-hour bus ride back to Boston this past week, I firmly vow the following 2 things for the rest of my life:
1) If I ever have to take a young child on public transportation lasting more than 30 minutes, I will spend at least a week in advance training him/her to be quiet instantly upon my command. This is not just for my own sanity, but for the sanity of THOSE AROUND ME.
2) No matter what the circumstance, I will never ever participate in full-frontal PDA in crowded areas, especially airport terminals or train stations. I mean, congratulations on your successful relationship and great enthusiasm/passion, but come on...kissing for multiple seconds? With tongue? While everyone around you is trying to navigate around you and get home? In the words of the little boy sitting in front of me at the Mary Poppins Broadway show when Mr. and Mrs. Banks are about to kiss: Ew.
Anyway, time for some sweet potato soup, and then off to catch up on practicing. More later.
