Hate to throw some cold water on the commuting party, but just keep yourself flexible because this is easy commute season. My commute is normally 45 minutes to an hour, and since the 4th of July holiday it has been more like 20-30 minutes. I love it when school is out!

The good news is that by the time you have to face the nasty commuting life, you will have already settled back into the daily work thing and will only have to make minor adjustments.

It's a great reminder to all of us with busy work schedules and want to maximize our time and efficiency!

Thank you!

Melise - I know. It's still going to take less time than I was thinking. Sony took 1 1/2 to 2 hours, but I don't think that's what I'm looking at this time.  I do audio books, so honestly, I don't even think of it as that much of a negative except every once in a while you hit a bad day.

Hey, we need to get that brunch back on the books!  I'll send an email...

Blakney - For the record, today is a little off schedule. Oh well, I'm practicing my flexibility...  :D

I'm exhausted just by reading this. I think I'll go lie down...

Joan - It's proving to impossible to pull off in an hour, that's for sure!
