Summed it up tidy didn't they? Goodman & badflap, in style as always. Which isn't to say I'm not impressed with those proclaiming to shrug off the deleterious effects a commute piles on the aging road warrior. Packed bare essentials to go out west for a few days skiing late last season. Standing at the gate in the middle of all the commotion & people drama I don't have to deal with anymore, glanced down at my wife. She just looked so small and tired already. 20 years commuting ORD still in her eyes? Then I started mulling over getting the car, pleading for a decent room, lift tickets, boot fitting, $14 overcooked cold hamburgers, $8 beers and of course, doing the whole deal in reverse "if" the wx plays along. Sprang for an awesome breakfast & two bloody Mary's on the way home.
