Civilized Hours

Through a serendipitous event, I was able to shorten my morning commute significantly today.  In fact, I didn't have to step on the MARC train at all this morning.  Rather, I was able to get to the office via metro rail and that's all.  The commute took in total maybe 30 minutes, which allowed me two additional hours of sleep this morning.  So while 5:45 am still may seem like an ungodly hour to some, it's a far cry from the 3:45 am wake up call I usually have.  Frankly, I could get used to it.
