if i hadn't overslept, i wouldn't have encountered chuck.

i usually catch the 8:01 train to new york. this morning, i woke up at 8:15. somehow, i was a mere half hour late, which was still unnerving, because despite my history as being perpetually tardy, i have been 10-20 minutes early almost every day since i began this job. on my later, less crowded train, i sat in close proximity to a man named chuck. i know that his name was chuck because every time his phone rang (about four times) he said, "this is chuck." i also spied a matching pair of crazians, a man and a woman sitting side by side. i first noticed that they had the same glasses, then i realized that their shirts were very similar too- both dress shirts with thin stripes. my favorite part was that when i looked down, i saw that even their shoes were twins- same shape, same color. weird.
