In order to study adequately for my PMP exam, I gave up my bike during (most of) March and "rode the rocket".

For this, I bought a metropass at $126. Thinking that this was a bit of a burn, I decided to start counting the trips that Mari and I took with it (only one adult can use it at a time, but strangely they now encourage sharing which was once fiercely forbidden). Given that tokens in bulk cost $2.60, I'd have to use it 26 times to break even. Instead I used it around 70 times.

Wow.

That said, I'm glad it's over; now I'm back on my beloved bike.

It's weird, man. People can watch a movie where thousands of people die in a war and not a tear. Yet one collie dies .. and the entire nation collapses with grief.
