Sometimes I just stare off into space or close my eyes on the train. It’s my time to do nothing. I’m also on my mobile device, checking my email, the news, sport updates. Right now is baseball season so there’s a lot to keep track of.

I have this electric motorized scooter that’s nice for the in-between parts of my commute. Once I get off the train, it’s only 1 ½ miles to my office, but, I mean, I don’t want to walk that much.

My parents are bringing dinner to my house tonight. My dad is retired, so he took over cooking for my mom. He made a Japanese dish with thinly sliced beef cooked in a broth of soy sauce, sugar, with lots of vegetables and noodles.
