Commute 2, Me 0*

Okay, I've officially had it with taking the car into work. No sooner do my wife and I high five each other for dropping off our daughter at the daycare center in record time this morning when we notice that Route One is a veritable sea of cars as far as we can see up the highway. While this would be par for the course on a rainy day, for a Wednesday morning this is somewhat unusual, so we suspect an accident has occurred (correctly, as it turned out) and make for a side road to pick up 128 and then I-93. I guess everyone else had the same idea, though, so it was pretty much a steady crawl all the way into town, making me about fifteen minutes late for work for the second time this $%!^& week.

We seriously need flying cars. Like yesterday. Though the thought of Massachusetts drivers moving in three dimensions chills my bones to the very marrow...

* Although I'm now officially 0-2 this week on the morning commute, I did score myself a free chai at the local tea shop. I had remarked that it was a "chai kind of day" and I guess the girl at the counter took pity on me and said my drink was on the house. So I'll call today a draw, karmically speaking, as pity chai definitely cancels out shitty commute.
