I really, really didn't feel like riding home tonight--depressed about various things and sleep-deprived as only a father of twins or prisoner of war can be--and I was within a breath of chucking it and taking the subway. But I dragged the bib and tights on and dragged my ass out and pedaled.

Not only did I get home in a better mood, but I ran into pm124 on the greenway and had a short, pleasant chat, and then tonight I got a PM from oboeguy, asking if that was me on the greenway.

My commute is my new social life.
