I can't pull the kids from where they are because what they're getting is too good. Commute-wise, it's less than half a mile off my route, maybe a mile from home. What's broken is working about 45 miles from home and working long hours. I've got three more years of that, then kid #2 is in kindergarten and I find something local with moms' hours.

In the meantime I've gone from burning four gallons a day to burning less than three. The my commute's biggest challenge is now the drive and not just staying awake. The next mpgs are going to be a fun challenge: I just had a 33 mpg tank, and 38 is double the car's EPA combined rating...
