The Wabash March

[billroper]

We've got four days of meetings in the Loop this week, which means that I can either pay for the shuttle bus (which is cheap) or I can walk the mile or so across the Loop. If the weather doesn't suck (which it didn't), I usually choose to walk and so I did.

I am now rather more sore than this amount of exercise justifies. Of course, I was also markedly short on sleep, having to get up an hour or more earlier than I'm used to and on a Monday.

This excursion did remind me of why I work from home. In order to spend eight hours in the office (including time spent on lunch), I had to leave home at 7:15 and didn't make it back until 5:55. It was 75 minutes in; 85 minutes home.

On the other hand, I read 137 pages of the book I snagged for the commute this week.

The last time I was in the Loop (more or less), I did choose to walk from the Hyatt to the C&NW station (whatever it is called these days) when I was heading out to Palatine to visit friends. However, at about 10:30pm or 11:00, I did choose to have a cab take me back - mostly because I wasn't quite up to walking along (Upper) Wacker alone at that time of night.
