A privately funded gym car (or commuter gym bus) would be a great idea. ABBA could start such a company as her next career. |

This goes to having made certain choices, and having to accept the consequences. |

Thank you for the primer on real estate values, but I am already familiar. My point is that you are failing to measure the true cost of where you live in relation to where you work. |

It seems like the potential for injury at a sudden acceleration/deceleration would be very high. Alas. Because it does seem like an awesome idea. |

Twice today I've been under the impression that it was Friday. I've been sorely dissapointed both times to discover that I was mistaken.

Fucking lawyers and their "risk" this, "liability" that.
Nothing a little padding wouldn't solve. |

The only other alternative is complete and total starvation. |

Or think through the "yeah, but"s before asking the question about making changes, and then reconsider the whole asking the question part, because change isn't feasible. |

LOL I've tried that one too. that actually worked but is hard to sustain.
Judging from the number of fat n dumpy looking peeps on my train a lot of people have made the decision to let themselves completely go. LIke little Carmine said "I'm at the precipice of a great crossroads" my window of bouncing back is slowly closing shut. gotta decide.

I've spent a good two hours speed preparing for a meeting that's tomorrow at 3:30. I gave myself an unnecessary amount of stress over something I can now procrastinate for over 24 hours.
And I got myself all excited that I'd be able to read the new Harry Potter tomorrow.
I am glad that I have another day, though, for the clouds to clear up. I was planning on buying the book and heading to the much-closer-than-anyone-on-the-politics-board-thought-it-was beach and reading it all the way through.
