Oh, I didn’t know your trip was long. One of our condo units is for sale because the husband and wife work in Chicago which is 95 miles away. They’re finally tired of the daily trip. Their kids and grandkids are here so it was a hard decision to make.

Are you having a mortgage-burning party when it’s paid off? : ) That will be a big day.

Well, the distance is 33 miles one way. But I take buses, light rail and bicycle and it is a 2 hour commute each way. I want to be perfectly clear. I do not do this because I'm a liberal tree hugger, but for much more selfish reasons because I hate traffic and wear and tear on my vehicles. The time is not wasted. I read, study, chat, snooze and veg out. Very good for stress.

That's a good idea to have a mortgage burning party. I might have to plan on that!
