Greetings from Sunny New York

Big storm last night, but all is mostly sunny today.

Took the train to Newark from Martinez, CA. 3 1/2 days of terrible food and gorgeous scenery, but it was worth it. I love the train, and I've got the bruises to prove it!

Met a lot of nice people on our travels. We had a roomette. This is a compartment so small that you need to be well acquainted with your fellow traveler or it is terribly awkward, especially when you go to sleep.

More expensive than a plane, for sure, but feels safer. NY skyline looks naked without the Twin Towers. So unbearably horrific, what happened here 5 years ago, it strains the mind's credulity.

Change of subject: If you can, get your flu shots, and soon. People over 50 are especially vulnerable (not that I'm admitting to anything, you understand).

Back to CA on the 14th. Many heavy-duty family affairs between now and then. Wish me luck!

My first book, Briarhopper, has just been uploaded to Booklocker.com. Yay! It's a memoir, and a long time coming. Wish me luck on that one, too. Anyone want to review it? If you do, it's free!

Best,

Mary Lynn
