Some soft spoken Germans and their louder American friends?coworkers? are on a jam-packed delayed train next to me. They are wearing shirts from some other charity race in UAE and are going to a 5K race in my park and are joking whether they are going to a race or a beach, which is where this train line terminates. And about how they are definitely going out for a beer after.
They get off before my stop but I still have two more to go. I do have beer in the fridge, nice microbrew from upstate, and Swedish cider, but I know drinking it will be a mistake and so I won’t.
