Every morning, Monday through Friday, we start our day by rousting the boys and getting them off to school. My morning commute is to St. Pius X School, just north of the Baltimore city line, and back; I pick up one spare kid in Hampden along the way, and drop off three, with one passenger along for the round trip.

Zoe obviously felt the same way about the commute as I did this morning–not quite up to it.

Of course, I have little to complain about. My commute is a round-trip, back home, and upstairs to my office. Compared to some of my past commutes–an hour and a half to DC, a monthly trip to Palo Alto–this one is cake.
