Insanity is a dish best served microwaved

I feel guilty.  Thursday I was getting ready to go to my evening class which goes from 5:30p-8:30p.  There’s plenty of light to get me home.  Earlier in the day, I rode my bike the equal distance when I went to the bank–about two miles… but it was windy.  It takes me about 15 to 17 minutes to get where I needed to go. 

When I was getting ready for class, I noticed that there was still a light breeze and decided to drive.  It took me 12 minutes to DRIVE to class.  At net gain of maybe 3 minutes… but that was lost probably by the walk from the parking lot to the classroom.  So the lesson learned is to suck it up and ride my bike… it takes the same amount of time.

Today I rode my bike for breakfast and I just feel better.  Not just because I’m saving money on gas, not because I was helping the environment, or getting exercise… it’s just because it’s the right thing to do.  I know I have better ways of helping my community that hopping in my car…
