Today was a major fiasco! Headed into the city to meet a friend at the Met. Too late, I realized I'd forgotten my phone. Well, I figured, I'll meet my friend where we always meet 🤞 I get there, & the damn Met is closed on Wednesday ( how did we not know that? Friend is a member) So, home again. Waste of time, money & friendship. Arghh!!

@gemswinc Oh no, I'm sorry. That sounds very disappointing.

@misslovelymess Yes, mostly very annoying 🙄

@gemswinc I hope you were at least on the train and not driving.

@misslovelymess Oh yes definitely, train 🚂

@gemswinc I do enjoy taking the train when I'm close and going into Manhattan. My old job used to be in Westchester County, and the I found the Metro North to be very good for relaxing.

@misslovelymess I was born in Westchester County.Small world. Shorter train ride of course, than from out here

@gemswinc I've never done the LIRR (if I remember, you give weather updates from the island). I have driven from Long Island to Manhattan, do not recommend. Ugh. I used to spend a ton of time in Dix Hills for work.

@misslovelymess You know LI then, I'll be darned.
I haven't driven in, in a long time. If there is no traffic
🤣🤣🤣 It is a straight shot from the LIE through Queens Midtown Tunnel. I'd only try, these days, early Sunday morning. I drove cab in NYC when I was 20. Night shift six months.

@gemswinc Except for that one time, I would drive in around 9pm, and drive out around 2-3pm. That usually worked pretty well for me.

Except for whenever a POTUS was in town, which seemed like very often.

@misslovelymess Sounds like good timing!

@gemswinc Also, do not recommend driving to or in Staten Island. 0/5 do not recommend.

@misslovelymess Ha, ha, haven't in years! Verazano Bridge 😱 Don't like driving much anymore anyway
