M'am...

I never thought there could be anything worse, about getting older, than being called "M'am"...Wrong!!

Just the other day I was riding a full bus, there were people in the doorways, aisles, crotches and butts in those seated faces...you get the picture!  Well as the bus is clearing out...I feel a tap on my shoulder.  I'm thinking, ooh it's someone I know or a fellow "traveler" I haven't seen in a while, just as I turn around this young girl says "would you like to sit down?"  Now normally I'd turn the seat down 'cause I'm okay standing, but I take it because I think she's getting off the bus...oh no, she continues to ride even past my stop...while I'm gracious, I'm mortified...have I really gotten there!?  On the bright side, she didn't call me M'am!!!

Start of something new

I've tried blogging back in the day but just couldn't get it right. I was always wondering, "Who would want to read what I write?", "What insight do I have or what's so compelling that I could write about everyday?" ....and here's what I've discovered, I don't have to write everyday, life in general is compelling enough and people don't have to read what I write (although more than once people have asked that I create one).

So a few months back I became car-less in L.A., I know I know, oh the horror!! Let me tell you, you have not lived life to the fullest until you've ridden public transportation in L.A. The stories I reveal are true and if I had names they would not be changed nor hidden.

So journey with me through the streets of L.A. I hope you enjoy the L.A. Bus Chronicles!!
