Daily Commute
As we approach the American holiday of Thanksgiving, I thought it appropriate to take a moment to be thankful for those things in life we sometimes don't fully appreciate. Granted I may find Kinsale's lack of a movie theatre a bit annoying or the fact that potatoes are as common at meals (including breakfast) as salt and pepper, but I can't complain about the view from the balcony or (as you can see now) the commute to work.
Seriously, I'm looking at a stint in Mexico City for 6 months, so a 7 minute commute to work with no stoplights in Ireland is something that I need to appreciate now - because it ain't ever gonna happen in my lifetime.
