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.

I believe you find life such a problem because you think there are good people and bad people. You're wrong, of course. There are, always and only, the bad people, but some of them are on opposite sides.

—Terry Pratchett (as Lord Vetinari)
