I needn&#8217;t have bothered. I&#8217;ve been taking that train because it has a connection to Hunterspoint Avenue in Queens, which is just two subway stops away from Grand Central &#8212; and the subway&#8217;s right there, up and then down some stairs &#8212; and then that&#8217;s only a couple of short blocks away from my office. But this morning, at Jamaica, where the Hunterspoint train connects, they were announcing a thirty-minute delay. So I just stayed on until Penn Station in Manhattan and walked to the office. <\/p>\n<p>I actually <i>tried<\/i> to take the subway from Penn Station &#8212; it&#8217;s basically just the reverse of my new evening commute &#8212; and I swiped my MetroCard to get through the turnstiles and everything. (After having to back up and wait in line at the machine when I discovered my card was empty.) But the train was so packed I couldn&#8217;t get on, and it seemed silly to waste even more time waiting for the next one. It&#8217;s a straightforward walk, and it wasn&#8217;t raining too badly.<\/p>\n<p>Still, I could have caught the 7:37 train and done about just as well.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I overslept a little this morning, by about ten minutes, and raced to catch the 7:20 train.
