My commute sans car, 14 miles by bike, or Commuter Rail can take a significant amount of time, including frittering time when at home, like watching TV (the children are grown and my wife often works in the evening).
Fortunately I like my job, reducing the stress. Furthermore, my time at work is otherwise pretty flexible, and posting to Bikeforums is a secondary, vicarious substitute.

A radio commentator, Dennis Prager once suggested that one should take a vacation everyday; not to physically “get away,” but do something different during the day, and that’s posting for me.
