The Long Way Home
Sunday, July 4, 1999  -  11:10 p.m.  -  picture 8 of 8

A crowded Metro platform under a vaulted concrete ceiling, a woman in front holding her sleeping son on her shoulder

The platform, about 55 minutes into the wait. Mary is holding Cody, who fell asleep standing up against her about ten minutes before this and did not wake up again until morning. The train on the left had come in already full, and we let it go.

Look at that ceiling, though. I've ridden the Metro to work for eight years and I still like those big concrete vaults. We got on the next train, squeezed in, and were home at 12:30. Amanda made it to her room on her own feet and fell asleep in her flag shirt.

Same time next year.
