Not fair you get to go to Cancun - you have hope for sunshine and no parka!!!
It's when I read stories like this that I am thankful to be at home with my four kids. Even if they drive me a bit crazy. A little mom rage is much safer then road rage.
...yikes.
Oh my...
Right in line with what Kupka said, it's easy for me to chuckle at your post when my commute consists of walking down my stairway to the living room.
You're almost to Cancun.
I wonder what the traffic is like in Cancun....I wonder if you'll care.
The key is that you kept moving that's the important thing. As long as you don't stop you'll gain a psychological advantage over all the shmoes stuck in traffic. Did I mention I walk to work every morning?
Rob - you SO hit the nail on the head. Yes - the point was to keep moving. With all the red lights though, that point became pretty ironic. :-)
HA! That is so true. As long as the car's moving there's perceived progress. I remember the commuting days and standing still just felt so unproductive.
