How to Survive a Transit Strike

I joined the cattle herd into the city today on Day Two of the transit strike in New York. It's a pretty crazy sight to see seven million people coming up with creative ways to avoid the buses and trains. I tell you, though, all that walking in the cold gave me a craving for hot chocolate... with cognac! Take your usual hot chocolate (I like whole milk and chocolate syrup), and add a tablespoon of Hennesy or whatever cognac you have kickin' around the liquor cabinet. Stir it all up and enjoy the good life.
