...that would be my husband. Oh, he can be cranky. And although he is not really old, I like calling him old, because he is in the whole other decade than me and he gets all uppety when I call him "old" so it's kind of fun to watch.
Why do I say that my husband is cranky, well, because he always finds reasons for him to complain about something. For example, when he came to Russia I booked a taxi for us to get to and from the airport, because the last time he was here I was silly enough to think that he could handle a ride on a Russian bus. I thought he was open minded to new extreme experiences, but I guess I was wrong, he had that bus ride against me for quite sometime. So, this past weekend I went for the taxi.
One would think that you can't complain about a nice taxi ride, right? Well, my husband can find reasons to complain about anything if he is in the right mood. He gets to England and then he calls me and says "you did not tell me that there was an express train from the subway to the airport and it only costs $10.00" Oi, I did not see that coming, I mean how can you find reasons to fuss over when you had a great taxi ride to and from the airport. I did not tell him that the express just started running and the first week it was up and running not one train was on time, and a few times it got even stuck in the middle of the way and they had to use another train to get back to get fixed. Besides the fact that it's unreliable, it only runs once an hour and half of the time it would not work for us because Matt's flights were both early in the morning. But still I got to listen that there was a better cheaper option of transportation that I did not offer to my husband. He was not happy about that.
I almost felt like reminding him about the bus ride we took awhile back just to show that cheaper options can be a bit unbearable for Matt but decided against it, after all, he will read this blog eventually, so he will find out anyway :) But next time I am taking him on a cheaper transportation option and boy, he better not complain about those, because I have just had enough of this complaining about transportation in Russia....
Conclusion: even though I adore my husband and he can be great fun, you can always count on one thing--he will always be cranky and will always find time and issues at which he can be cranky at. I can't imagine what he is going to be like when he is actually old. I better get some patience, does patience come with aging? I don't think so, but I will be praying for it :)

Ok the bus I did not like. It took an hour just to get to the subway which takes 40 minutes. To top it off that trip I had been traveling for something like 20 hours before even getting on the bus.
As for the train... Well I saw it online and thought it might be a good way to save some money. Online they didn't say anything about the problems it is happening. I am very happy that you set up the car and I am more than willing to keep taking it.
