The commute to NYC from Suffolk would be Amaze balls if...
1. Manicure and pedicure services- I mean how awesome would it be to have someone massage your feet and change your polish while sitting in delays?
2. Personal training- can totally add a car on, remove the seats, add in some free weights and have one crazy mother trucker run a boot camp class.
3. Cooking classes- nope, that's not the smell from the broken down bathroom, that's Chef's gourmet broccoli rab cooking in the front car. Learn a new skill and eat a healthy dinner.
4. Coffee dispensers- each car should have a huge coffee maker or Keurigs instead of those pointless coat racks.
I admit, I will sometimes spend the first 30 minutes of my commute home to do squats, leg lifts, and other quiet and effective exercises. It feels great to get in a little exercise before I get home. People watch at times because it's not your typical LIRR behavior, but I'm a leader and don't care about naysayers. One night, some girl and guy were chuckling and I just flashed them a thumbs up. He came over at end of ride and we had a good chat about the importance of getting work outs in. I said, next time join me!
Well, while I may never see the day where the LIRR offers great services to its patrons, I am still happy and grateful to simply be alive to see my family smile.
