The Best Thing About Commuting
I have a significant commute to and from work. Without traffic, it is about an hour drive in each direction (I know, I am dealing with my own guilt over my carbon emissions rate). I often say that I do not mind the actual time in the car, as it gives me time to drink my Dunkin Donuts coffee, listen to the radio, and get my thoughts together. More specifically, though, I love the significant amount of time I get to listen to NPR. Seriously. I am ridiculously well-informed because of my commute. And today was a particularly fantastic NPR day, as On Point spent one hour talking about the American prison system and the next hour talking about Elvis Presley. If you read this blog, you know I am semi-obsessed with prison issues. And if you know me at all, you know that I am fully obsessed with Elvis Presley.

I fully intended to provide a long discussion about the show’s contents. But I got derailed stressing out about moving and a potential trial on Monday. Dammit.

I feel like a failure of a blogger lately.
