Still exhausted after enduring a 6:15am departure from Boston's South Station yesterday, travelling aboard the Acela Express to Penn Station, New York. It is really amazing how rising from one's slumbers two earlier than usual will wreck one's sense of equilibrium like a vicious mob of particularly active wreckers luring a fragile ship into treacherous and rocky waters.
To pass the time between stations I invented a character called Ogbert Bogford B.A.
Once the train had passed New Haven, still bored, I created an - exheedingly fat - female companion for him: Marge Lardbutterton.
Both characters were modelled on my fellow passengers.Perhaps their personal stories will appear among these posts one day.

I believe I see a parallel between this train project and the Flight Home of July 10, 2006. Transportation's Odd Bedfellows.CompLit anyone?
