(Not so) bad things ...
Commuting. More than anything, this is the aspect of moving to New Jersey I'd dreaded the most.
But it hasn't been that bad. I have to hunt a little bit for a seat in the morning (the station I'm using this week is the last stop before the train goes express. So it's crowded). But I get a seat and, once I sit down, I settle in with the paper.
On the way home last night, I listened to National Public Radio's evening report. Nice.
Meanwhile, prices have gone up in the five or so years I've been out of the country (surprise! :-) ). A lunch that I'd swear used to cost no more than $5 was nearly $8 today. Oh, well.
