October 6

October has always been my favorite month of the year. The weather is still warm here in Atlanta, and there's less foliage to change colors like back home but it's still my favorite time of year. Riding the trains has been such an experience. One day I was sitting on the southbound when a young woman came in and launched into some spoken word. At first I thought she was just some crazy woman, but then she tells everyone her family is homeless and she's selling incense to get by, so good for her, she probably just wanted to get everyone's attention. It worked, I saw a bunch of people buying incense from her. On another occasion we were serenaded by a young R. Kelly hoping to be discovered, or at least that's what I heard him telling the friends he was riding with about his demo. No poker this week, maybe I'll go to the gym for an extra work out, since I couldn't work out all weekend due to my pulled back muscle.
