When I was in college, a professor made select classmates ride the bus.
“The bus??” We were all stunned.
“But… but…”
The professor smiled. “You will ride the bus. You will ride the bus to CLASS. You will figure out the schedule so that you will be in class on Friday.”
We should all be forced to ride the bus sometimes. We complain about the traffic, we complain about the price of gas, and good gracious we complain about the parking at the mall around the holidays.
Yet… we do not ride the bus. My friend in New York rides a bus every morning. She also rides a train. She reads books and answers emails and listens to her ipod. When I tell her how frustrating a commute must be she looks at me like I am crazy. “Are you kidding? Do you know how much I get done?” Plus, she avoids the stress of traffic and crazy drivers.
This holiday season we should all ride the bus at least once. If you do take the bus, and would like to do a guest post please email me or comment here.
