$320 a month plus a subway filled with pantsshitters. Over.

Sad, yes I will eventually burn through my million miles (spread out over numerous programs -- dick move) but it is kind of nice to finish a dep and go right to the basement.

Every Friday over the last three years the NY Mets gave away a free T shirt. I never missed a game or a Tshirt. My wife absolutely excoriated me "MORE T-SHIRTS???" But guess what I have worn for the last three months every day?

No longer playing the role of Stanley Hudson -- Icky Thump!

Unnecessary court appearances which can be conducted by phone and only serve to fatten defense counsel's wallets? Over.

This new world is an introvert's (or misanthrope's) delight. And I think it might be far more egalitarian. Removing the office removes a lot of the political games which allow less talented people to move up the ladder.

However, I do not like my basement workout. Old school iron free weights definitely increase strength more effectively than machines. But they require I remain in my home, which exposes me to being interrupted by family. I went to the gym to get away for an hour and a half. (I also can't shoot the shit with judges or local business people in my basement.)
