Three degrees and hazy today in the 416. I’m taking advantage of my day off to plan the big trip home for the holidays. Got up late – it’s still my day off, after all – and since downing my third cup of coffee, have managed to do a little Christmas shopping online and take out the ol’ yuletide decorations to jazz up the joint. Doesn’t feel like Christmas until I haul out those tiny plastic reindeer with the balding antlers. How do they lose so much fuzz every year?
The traveling part is easy – I’m going to take the train. I have a car at my disposal, but (a) I don’t like killing the planet and (b) I don’t like traffic, slippery roads or other drivers (go figure!). Even if it is a short ride from TO to Kingston, I’d rather be kicking back with a bevvie than worrying if the guy in front of me has winter tires.
Don’t be silly, people – book your train tickets before the holiday rush hits. Seriously.
