It\u2019s early Monday morning and I\u2019m enjoying my first cup of coffee while relaxing in my bathrobe and big woolen socks. I’m looking at my cat, Quiet Rustle, who is looking back at me. We are both listening to the radio.\u00a0 The news program has gotten to the familiar segment known as \u201ctraffic on the threes.\u201d<\/p>\n
As we sit there, comfortably starting our week, we listen to the various traffic jams afflicting the region.\u00a0\u00a0 It sounds like everybody’s having a bad time going to work. Except me and my cat.\u00a0\u00a0 But I haven\u2019t left for work yet. And that\u2019s the problem.<\/p>\n
I have resumed working at the office downtown. Unfortunately, thousands of my closest friends have also resumed working downtown.\u00a0\u00a0 So, it is time to pick my poison.\u00a0\u00a0 Do I drive in to work and deal with the traffic?\u00a0 Or do I take the train and deal with the breakdowns and lousy service.<\/p>\n
I look at Quiet Rustle and he looks at me.<\/p>\n
Time for another cup of joe.<\/p>\n
