train rides can beat apples in waking me up in the morning.
today, an 80ish man, who was carrying a bagpack,
excused himself to be seated in between 2 strangers in the seat in front of me.
i'd say that's unusual.

5 minutes into the ride, he took out an ipod nano,
unlocked the switch, put on his earphones, selected a playlist,
switched the lock back on, leaned back and had fun.

i knew he was having fun as i spent the rest of the ride
staring at the back of his dancing head.
nobody's too old for an orange gadget.
