So getting out of Penn Station could have been worse last night. The trains were about 30 minutes delayed for whatever reason, but I got to Secaucus only 5 minutes later than normal. My train from SEC was 5 minutes late…whatever…then the train in front of us basically dies and the people on the train need to be picked up, so we were supposed to pick up them up, until they realize there’s another train that can do that…a local…which we get stuck behind. I was about 45 minutes late getting home! Got to love that NJ Transit!

Giants Update:
The Giants will take on their neighbors to the south, the Philadelphia Eagles on Sunday. Both teams are fighting to stay alive at 7-6. They lead the NFC wild card race, but with three games remaining in the season, anything can happen. In their previous meeting, the Giants needed late game heroics to beat the Eagles at home, but are hoping for less excitement.
