“Good morning, folks, and a Happy New Year,” the conductor says. The red digital letters at the front of this train car read, “Yankees – E 153rd St.” I imagine Randy and Rachel, Roger and Elsie, Layne, Zach, Tristan, and Jared on the platform outside of Yankee Stadium waiting to board car 4207. What better way to start the New Year than to walk into Grand Central, to meet up with friends to hike the Aquaduct Trail, and eat hibachi in Tarrytown!?
On the way into Grand Central, a lady from nearby Jackson Heights told me, “You know, I feel like I’m beginning the new year by climbing a mountain.” We continued visiting. I told her that we’re going hiking. “So,” she said, “You’re looking forward to climbing a mountain.”
I’m anticipating hiking mountain trails with Laurence in 2024!
Happy New Year! Berniece
An Ordinary Life 
Happy New Year to you, at home in NYC! Hiking sounds energetic and lovely. I would enjoy the view out the train window.
