Two Bags To Go #mfrwauthor

It's Friday. That means it's time for another post in the 2018 challenge. As I've said before, it is not fair. They keep making us choose. This week we are supposed to reveal our secret snack. Now I would like to say that I don't snack, but even diabetics are supposed to snack. Then I could claim I only eat fruit or healthy things like carrot sticks between meals. That was true once upon a time when I worked normal (if extended) hours at what is today called a "day job." Breakfast was eaten on the train, lunch during a quick walk around the promenade or down to Battery Park, then a snack in late afternoon to fuel that final push of productivity. What could be considered a secret snack was a small popcorn and a can of beer (both in brown paper bags) for the train ride home.

But it has been a while since I worked in the City. The towers have fallen and been replaced by the Liberty Tower, the old diesel engine that allowed a fast hop off for a snack during engine switchover has been replaced by electric. Other significant changes are I've sold my house of more than 30 years and moved far, far away. And to the dismay of many commuters, the secret snacks are no longer allowed on the train.

So instead of two brown bags, one food, one a drink to wash it down with, I'll take two bags of dark-chocolate covered cashews and a tall glass of ice water.
