March (Weather) Madness

Even though it's almost April already, today I awoke to freezing rain and icy roads.  Yuck.  The drive to work wasn't that bad today- yesterday the Westbound Beltline was pretty bad from Stoughton Rd. to Park Street.  On my way home from work, the Eastbound lanes were a parking lot, so I used some trickery (took a different route) and avoided that mess.  So far, that's one of the only drawbacks to this job that I've found- the commute is about 15 minutes on a day with a tailwind and over 40 when the Beltline is pitching a hissy fit.  I can't wait till the weather is nice enough to ride my bike to work- then it doesn't matter how long it takes, because I'm doing something productive with that time.

I've been listening to a book on mp3 while I drive- the first book of The Strain by Guillermo Del Toro and Chuck Hogan, narrated by (Hellboy) Ron Perlman.  So far it's pretty interesting.
