I have not had the opportunity to ride on the Accela from Boston to Wash DC, I trust it is a much better ride than the slow slow North South ride.??


My friend on 43 made her train, on time, at Paoli, so I guess Mark's
train north was late. Amtrak's fine if you're not in a hurry. I miss
the days when I wasn't. I'm really about done with flying.
