Today I had to leave The City and take Metro-North into Westchester County. As I walked through the upper level towards the ticket purchase machines I heard a very high-pitched, soft bark. I thought to myself, "That has to be a puppy." 

My two friends have a gorgeous two and a half year old daughter. She is their first, intelligent, and precocious.  Jennifer is the type of friend, who in one conversation, I can exhaust my entire cell phone battery!  Catching up usually takes place either when I'm at the airport waiting for my flight or when the baby is down for a nap.
