4 Years

I have been blogging for 4 years. Lots of driving and lots of riding.

1 accident
3 Jobs
Big Dig collapse
Sox championship
Celtics championship
Superbowl loss
Puke on the T
Boston Now comes and goes
$2.99 a gallon gas price

I think I am going to take a pause for a while. I am glad I had the opportunity to write about driving to work for this period of time.

So...goodbye for now...I am sure it will be a short goodbye since something interesting always happens in the morning.

Again With The Wild Turkeys

This time there was a rafter of turkeys in my back yard. My wife called me to the window where we saw 5 turkeys walking around our fence. There seemed to be larger turkeys in my neighbor's yard. I think they were the parents.

Drive was good today. Tomorrow is a special day.

Don't Forget

A few years before I starting blogging about getting to work...there was an attack on America...that threw our normal routines into chaos...and destroyed our sense of security and ended lives.

Writing about the routine reminds me how precious that can be...because it wasn't fun when it was smashed to bits that day...

Long Drive Because Of Tardiness

I had a long drive because I got out of bed late and I hit the roads late.

With all the school buses and the children and extra cars, it made for a lot of stop and go.

Wake Up Naturally

I have been setting my alarm for a much later time...like 8:00 and letting it act as a fail safe.

That way, I can wake up more naturally.

It's been sorta working. I feel more awake in the morning. Certainly makes the drive a little bit better.

Long weekend...thank goodness...

Slept In A Bit This Morning

I have been feeling a bit sleepy this week. During the day, I feel like taking a nap. Maybe it's the change in the seasons.

Maybe I just can't hack this 6 hour sleep schedule...day in and day out.

So I slept in a bit. I stayed in bed for an extra half hour.

I left the house about half hour later than usual. Traffic wasn't too much different...and actually, it was better than yesterday.

Coffee School Gasoline Work

Coffee School Gasoline Work. Those are the items that made up my morning.

Not necessarily in that order.

The school buses and school children are clogging things up. Every year, there is a slow transition from summer time fun to bearing down and getting back to normal.

The transition will be a bit prolonged this year as school seems to be starting in spurts. Next week should be slow as well.
