Catching the 7:14 Acela

My sunday midnight to Monday morning schedule has worked like clock work. Sleep by 12 midnight, wake up at 5:30 am , enter bathroom , 6:00 am out of bathroom, chlothes on , 6:15 make coffe, 6:20 Drink coffee, 6:30 Out of the House to the Path Station, 6:45 reach PATH, catch the 6:50 subway, reach Newark in a minute, 6:55 go to the quick track machine and print ticket, 7 am buy WSJ from the stall, read the paper till 7:14, catch the acela on the way to Philly for more than a year and nowadays to Washington and trust me all this happens without seeing the watch ever.

Past week my biological clock went haywire ( dunno adjusting to a self induced daylight saving schedule). Woke up at 6:19 ( well past the deadline), 6:20 entered the bathroom , 6:45 out of the bathroom , 6:50 Chlothes on, no time to make coffee, so took 5 sips of coca cola just to have my morning caffiene levels in, 6:57 out of the house, 7:07 reached the PATH station,caught the 7:10 subway , 7:12 reached the station, 7:13 got the ticket from quicktrack, 7:13:30 took the WSJ from the stall, slammed the $1:50 on the counter, 7:14 doors close all aboard just scrapped in ( sometimes it helps to be thin). 7:16 settled down, 7:20 got coffee from the caffe car, 7:25 sipped my coffee as the train pulled into metropark and as I was reading the latest on Bear Stearns.
And all this while being glued to the watch.

Not Bad Mr. Patra, Not bad at All..
