The Acela Express Train zoomed into the station on the track across the platform from where the Northeast Regional was waiting. Looking across the to the windows it appeared as if all the chic folks were reading their electronic books, while not moving their perfectly coiffed head and before I could register more about them, the Acela zoomed away. I felt I was left sitting in the ‘little engine that could‘. Our train didn’t leave for another five minutes, never to catch up with the sleek, speedy Acela. Time can be bought.
