Uncle Roger's Notebooks of Daily Life

Wednesday, August 10, 2005

This morning, I happened to notice the time as I drove along on my way to work. I glanced at the clock as I passed some of the landmarks and noted the time. All told, it took me 31 minutes to go approximately 23 miles. Almost a third of that was spent getting from my house to the freeway (about a mile). Despite the traffic, that's pretty good time.

Here's the breakdown:

Time	Duration	Description
7:42am		Left the house
7:51am	9 min	Got to 19th and Junipero Serra
7:59am	8 min	Passed Interstate 380
8:07am	8 min	Turned onto Highway 92
7:10am	3 min	Exited onto El Camino Real
7:13am	3 min	Pulled into the garage at the office

If you look at only the freeway distance, I did about 22 miles in 19 minutes -- an average speed of just about exactly the speed limit.

Journal Description

My life is, to me, ripe with frequent challenges, occasional successes, spontaneous laughter, adequate tears, and enough *life* to last me a lifetime. To you, however, it surely seems most pedestrian. And therefore, I recycle the name I used previously and call this my Notebooks of Daily Life. Daily, because it's everyday in nature, ordinary. These conglomeration of events that are my life are of interest to me because I live it, perhaps mildly so to those who are touched by it, and could only be of perverse, morbid curiosity to anyone else. Yet, I offer them here nonetheless. Make of them what you will, and perhaps you can learn from my mistakes.
