Bike Commuter
The good news is that Erica was hired to teach at Le Cordon Bleu Culinary Institue. She will be teaching the public speaking course for some chefs in training. It is a nice opportunity to work with students again. The bad news is that Le Cordon Bleu is about a 10 mile commute from our home in downtown Minneapolis. As part of our desire to simplify, we have been trying to make just one car work for our family. With both of our long commutes to our jobs, we have had to be a little creative with Erica’s commute to her new job. Erica has joined the ranks for the bike commuters (there are alot of them here in the twin cities). Her commute involves riding her bike to the light rail, taking the light rail to a state park, riding wooded bike trails through the park and over a bridge spanning the Mississippi river with a view of both Minneapolis and St. Paul and onto to the front door of her work. Total commute time is about an hour. The jury is still out on if she will enjoy her commute and even look forward to the ride through the woods to work. For now, we’re going to try to make it work; happy trails!

Good for her! Welcome to the ranks! We’re a uppity bunch for sure. How is the commuting going?peder horner (URL) - January 23, 2007 at 5:54 pm
