notes from the commute

Who did we see this morning?
Well, I'll tell you - it was a busy, busy commute!
Much to see, much to tell.
As soon as we hit the city, me and K, K and me, we saw:

An adorable couple in brightly colored clothing and white hats! The white hats were a tip-off that they were tourists - well, that and the fact that they kept checking a map. She was tiny and wore a track suit and had a souvenir tote bag. He was nearly as tiny and wore lime green pants, those funny sandal/sneaker shoes, a white ball cap (with a pony tail pulled through the back), several beaded bracelets and a Members Only jacket. They were not young and held hands while they waited for the train.

I didn't have long to stare at them as a Philip Seymour Hoffman look-alike walked past us. I looked up at K and mouthed, just as he was saying: look! it's Philip Seymour Hoffman!

Just then, a twin Tilda Swinton, sauntered nearby. Morning, Tilda, we said together.

As the train arrived, Helen Mirren, who was standing next to me, asked if it was going downtown. Helen was busy checking a map too.
Clearly, it was visitor's day.

We boarded the downtown train, stepped to the rear of the car and glanced around at our fellow commuters.
To my left: one of the guys from Flight Of The Conchords. I gestured subtly to K, indicating his excellent sideburnage.
On my right: a woman of a certain age - spectacles on the end of her nose, hair pulled into a tight bun, with a particularly disdainful expression on her face as she read a romance novel.

It was nearly too much for me to take in all at once.
Fortunately, I had some paper in my bag and was able to jot some quick notes.

Now I just need to remember to bring the "paper" back to my office as it was a doctor's bill that was sent to the wrong insurance company.
I'll need to make some phone calls tomorrow.
