Subway Series (opens the original)
Read excerpt
On a flight to the Dominican Republic a few weeks ago, I got tired of listening to music. I’d also had enough of my Kindle. My husband was sitting in the window seat next to me, but he was in his own world, alternating between scrolling through his playlist and texting the kids.
