When we moved from Phoenix to San Pedro several years ago, I reminded my wife all the time how my commute
became longer, all of 2 miles instead of 1.5.
We moved again a couple of months ago and my commute
is now a whopping 11 miles, driving under blue skies on a scenic coastal road, with the view alternating between Catalina island, beautiful beaches and imposing cliffs, often watching the sun setting on the Pacific Ocean.
It’s horrible!
Or is it
? I never thought I’d say this, but I am now liking my commute.
It all started when I plugged my iPhone to the car’s stereo. After a few days of listening to music, I switched to the WNYC’s Radiolab podcasts and have been enjoying them thoroughly.
I just finished listening to Placebo, their best so far.
In another podcast, I was pleasantly surprised that a guest speaker was one of our own SuperLab customers, Dr. Julian Keenan.
Then there are those days when I don’t feel like listening to anything.
I enjoy that as well.
It’ s the pau
se that refreshes.
Commuting is not so bad after all.
