Yesterday marked my triumphant return to the Marta. The SunTrust parking garage employees must have honed in on their Nancy Drew skills and pieced together mine and Paul's parking spot share plan. I got a phone call on Monday that the jig was up. Rather than pay a disgusting amount to COME TO WORK and park, I knew what I had to do. I rode in my former daily seat on the Marta yesterday and sat next to one of the usual suspects, a 60ish year old man who refuses to embrace 21st century technology. He wears headphones the size of earmuffs and listens to tapes via the last tape player in existence. He gave me a knowing smile as I plopped down beside him. A smile that seemed to say, "we've missed you, fellow rider. You got too big for your britches with your fancy pre-paid parking spot. Riding the train with the working class is right where you belong".To add some excitement to my commute, I plan to do themed music weeks that fall under the umbrella of the themed month, i.e. August will be rap/R&B women. Weeks in August will go as follows:
Week 1: Destiny's Child, original members
Week 2: Aaliyah
Week 3: Mariah Carey, 1990s only
Week 4: Miss Minaj
