They need to make the train less squealy and make less stops. Maybe in the future, when they have the infastructure, they can make every other express between point A and downtown. I just woke up from my much needed bus nap and now it's time for dinner :) Tim, agreed. They need to make the train less squealy and make less stops.

But some days I just nap, though it is harder to sleep on the train than it was on the bus.

Was going to say something but I decided that I'm not a good morning person & wasn't sure if you guys were. =) Usually I read a book on the way to work. Depending on how loud the people are around me, I will listen to my iPod. On the way home, I usually watch a tv show on the iPod. I think I saw you walking to the bus yesterday am.

What a relief it is to get to nap after leaving work! fehler, LOL -- I seriously almost spit Crystal Light all over my keyboard when I read that. I'm surprised I didn't catch my own crop job ;) Scott, yeah, I understand the issues with living/working where busing isn't practical (I did it for 5 years) but now that I can, I must say that I can't believe I missed out on it for so long... Sank, they had CD players back then?! Wow. I thought you were going to go back to the transistor radio days or smoke signals or something! :) Adam, hopefully once my T-mobile contract is up in October I'll be able to switch to something else. I would love to see Android work out but I have a feeling, based on what we've see so far, that the iPhone is the best bet for mobile Internet. I would like to do the whole movie, music thing -- especially that my wife monopolizes the MP3 player I bought for me...

I am currently working on the new site, to which you linked. It is obviously a work in progress. I hope you like the book. I'd be interested to see what you think when you're done. I hope from time to time you decide to turn to the person next to you (Kim) and talk to her. Don't be the guy who is too engrossed in his good book to talk to his wife. I was that guy last night. I am reading another Chaim Potok book! I love it. Hope all is well. Andy Bill,

That, too, would be an interesting yet painful read. Looking at how you framed that picture, I thought the book title was going to be “Field Notes from a Castration”.

Commuting to Bloomington and West St Paul was taking up too much of our time. I tried busing it but found the doubling of my commute time to be unacceptable. And Kat's schedule and job made busing impractical. While moving was expensive and a hassle, my life feels so much more sane now. My commute time, from door to cubicle, is only 20 minutes. Of course, the days I telecommute are even better. One of the reasons Kat and I moved from north Minneapolis to South St Paul was to shorten our commutes.

Getting indoor heating parking downtown as a perk on my new gig has made me soft(r). Reading and listening to the old MP3 player.. I'm old enough to remember taking a portable CD player on the bus. HA. Once the MP3 (and I've never been a big fan of ITunes) deal got going I started doing Audiobooks. Great idea, except you miss big portions of the book due to unconsciousness brought on my droning narration. You know I miss the buss.
