Wow, I have a hard time making myself drive half an hour to work, much less 5.5 on a train. You are made of stern stuff, sir.

Yeah... I don't think I can do it this way every week. I need to come up with something else honestly, but what that is, I don't know yet.

What I would really like is to be able to work out of the downtown office instead of the suburbs. If I could do that, my commute would be 3.5 hours total instead of 5.5... which based on my experience today is painful.

Today I'm merely tired. I went to bed at 12:30... got up at 5:00. The only thing that's keeping me going right now is coffee.

Unfortunately, one thing this test is proving is that I'm really close to 40. LOL
