5/25: carpooling

Chris and I don't usually drive to work together during the regular academic year: our teaching schedules are almost opposite; he goes to school earlier; I stay later. But during summer school our schedules are exactly the same, so we've been heading off to campus in the same car each morning and returning home together each afternoon. I like it.

We lived in San Francisco for 11 years. The public transportation system was so good that we were a one-car family all that time and rarely drove. About once a month I'd load up on groceries and drive them home, but all the rest of the time I'd just walk to replenish from the market and carry it home, I rode MUNI to work, I rode MUNI just about everywhere that was too far to walk. I don't miss living in the urbs, but I do miss the transportation system.

I know it! I love where we live now, but it makes us so very car-dependent. When I lived in Los Angeles, I used public transportation--and sidewalks!--much of the time. Sometimes I really miss the feeling of traveling to work with strangers or walking among them.

happy for you that you get to leave and arrive home together, you sound like ancient soul mates together, and your love for chris always shines thru
