Commuting - The train....

I know everyone is wondering - how's the commute going?  Well.......  commuting is...... Commuting.  It's like it sounds.  In an ideal world, commuting would be like the 5th element.  You go into a pod - and when you wake up you're where you need to be!

But it's not like the 5th element - There is an hour and ten minute commute in the morning and afternoon - walk to the station, train to Darien, car to the office then car to the train, train to Grand Central, and walk home.  2 hours and 20 minutes of the day are now dedicated to commuting.  

Now, i do have to comment that for commuting, I have to be one of the luckiest since i get to go Grand Central Terminal twice a day!  People travel the world to see GCT and I'm lucky enough to get to go there twice a day!

The morning starts off around 7ish with a short walk to the station where I get to board the 734 New Haven line:

The next hour, i get to read (already completed the Girl with the Dragon Tattoo and half way through the Girl who Played with Fire!)  The Ipad was a genius invention!  It's so easy to get lost in a good book and to end up an hour later at the office.

Similar route home - more reading and winding down for the day:

So all and all... commuting doesn't have to be that bad and it's not!  I've enjoyed reading a ton and really can't complain!
