    Have We Become Merely Stereotypes?

    Actually... Actually, I do live at home with my parents and I am single. However, when I bring my train magazines to the office (Gazette and MR) I get lots of oooohs and aaaaahs. Of course when people turn around and walk away there is no telling what they say.
