October 8, 1994: I stood for a long, lurching, crowded bus ride with my child in one arm


Thirty years ago today

            On Saturday I took the bus to Canada’s Wonderland to meet Nancy and our daughter. Nancy wasn’t there when I arrived and at first I thought I was late but of course it was Nancy who was tardy. I called her place and her mother told me that they were on the next bus. Nancy had a family pass and so we rode the rides for free but I was disappointed with the food. After a few hours Nancy was suddenly in a hurry to leave and so we got on a very crowded bus. I had to stand on a lurching vehicle and hold my sleeping child in one arm while hanging on to the bar with the other hand and nobody offered me a seat.
