Isn’t the Light OK?

One of the changes I’ve had to adjust to most in our move is com­mut­ing to work. For the past 7 years, I’ve lived within a 10 minute drive of my work­place. Now, I have to drive about 50 min­utes to get to work. Because of the com­mute (and Carla’s cur­rent state of unem­ploy­ment) we’re offi­cially a two-car fam­ily now. I’ve inher­ited (or, more offi­cially, bought for a dol­lar) a 96 Hyundai from my dad. Until now, I’ve always car­pooled with Carla and she kept the car, so it’s strange to have a “my car” and “your car” now.

I guess a 50 minute com­mute isn’t really a “hike,” but I get a lot of “Wow…that must be quite a com­mute” when I tell co-workers where I’ve moved. So far it hasn’t been too bad — although I’ll prob­a­bly be dread­ing it come win­ter. One of the things that’s helped is my Ipod and espe­cially the way Itunes makes it easy to cat­a­log and lis­ten to podcasts.

Thank you, Steve Jobs, for mak­ing my com­mute eas­ier to bear!
