I bought Debbie Harry's memoir FACE IT last month and saved it for travels over the long Thanksgiving weekend. It was an excellent companion for long Amtrak rides. This morning we arrived home, via overnight train, in Newark NJ. Guess whom I saw in the station waiting for her own train? . . #blondie #heartofglass #atomic #onewayoranother #debbieharry #chanceencounter
