28 becomes 16

the journal of Michael Werneburg

twenty-seven years and one million words

It took me 28 minutes to cycle to work today, the first time I've timed it in over a year.

That's down from about 45 minutes initially and ~35 minutes, which I thought was my norm. Along the way this morning, though, I passed an apartment we'd seen on the weekend. From that point on my route there was only a 16 minute trip to the office. That would be a nice shortening of the distance and time, I have to say. I bet that if taking the TTC, it would knock 20-45 minutes off the journey, one way.

Happily, the new apartment, if things work out, is in the neighbourhood where we have several friends (some good friends would be only a five minute child's amble from us) and where Kenny would be able to attend a school that's a stone's throw away. There's a park across the street and another with a playground just half a block up a quiet side street. Let's see what happens.
