Song of the Day: 'All Night Train' by the Allman Brothers Band

Greg Allman (1947-2017) with Cher, Chastity (Chaz) and Elijah Blue

Having traveled to Washington a dozen times in the past year -- usually taking the train one way and the bus the other in the interest of saving money -- to spend time with my brother, I decided to splurge and take the bus both ways for this past weekend's Equality and Unity March. Naturally, though, I would pay for it more than once, as the train left unusually late both directions and then "police activity" outside Philadelphia kept us stranded at 30th Street station for about two hours in the wee hours on the way home. (We left D.C. at 10 p.m. and got to New York at 4 making us nostalgic for the bus for the first time ever!)
