Have you ever spent the night in a train sleeper car?
Trains.Some of us use them to commute to work.Some for travel.Our question this week is – have you ever stayed in a train sleeper car? Yes. Yes I have. When I was little and residing in Massachusetts, my mom’s family lived just outside of Philadelphia. Because my mom did not have her license, if we wanted to go visit without my Dad, we would take the train. My Dad would always buy us a little private room and we would travel at night. I can remember one trip in particular. I had to use the toilet which was just next to the door and with perfect timing, the conductor came…

The weekends signal a cessation of routine for me – a shutting down of sorts and I love the feeling.

Can you think of an activity that you’ve taken up that you never would have imagined yourself enjoying?
Everyone has activities or hobbies that they love. Thinking about those you enjoy, is there one that you did not expect to? Funny thing about this question, I sat with it for weeks. I could not think of any activity that I took up not expecting to like it. Not sure what this means, maybe I am not adventurous enough? I finally remembered the first time I played BINGO publicly. I did not have great expectations but left wanting more. It was years ago, I went to a VFW with a co-worker. I didn’t know what to expect. I certainly thought it was going to be a fun night out…
