First of all, let me say that it is a good idea to replace your contacts case every 3 months or so to avoid contamination and therefore infection. ‘Nuff said.
Secondly, a wonderful happening on the T this morning. I was heading to work a bit late because of health occurrences related to above; it was probably around 10 a.m. I was half asleep as usual, but another girl on the train was all the way asleep . . . I assume that she was working on a project all night for some classes at MIT. She was a tiny person, skinny and fair, and she woke with a start just as the doors were beginning to close at the Kendall stop, jumped up, thrashed a man aside from her, got half-stuck in the door as it closed, and finally made it out of the train, successfully remembering all of her books but without a lot of grace. All the passengers on the train of course noticed this, and most of us shrugged our shoulders at each other and made awkward smiling gestures . . . except one man who said “we need her for the Patriots!”
