I am in my very early thirties. I am also slowly being overtaken with a sense of ennui. Peter, I don't know if your commute allows it, but perhaps you might want to try taking the Metro. I ride the blessed thing every day, and let me tell you, John Rocker wishes he had it this good. No two trips on the metro are quite the same.
Every day there's at least one train that breaks down.
This morning it was the orange line. On Monday I spent two hours to cover the same distance as a 15 minute car ride. Occasionally, there will be a fire in the system, and if you're lucky enough, you could find yourself on the train used to determine just how bad the fire is. A few months ago I had suggested that, to alleviate the boredom, metro make the trip a little more dangerous. I suggested the doors be retrofitted with razor-sharp edges, thus teaching a lesson to those morons who think that if they stick their arm into a closing door, it will open.
