I can understand your frustration as well Shiny. Before the wife and I decided to get married, we lived about 250 miles apart. I would drive to Albuquerque to see her any chance I got, but it still sucked. Some days I would leave at about 4 Saturday afternoon, then drive back home Sunday night. It was rough, but it sounds like you guys have dealt with this kind of thing before.
Well Pig Pen and Shiny I don't have it that bad. My lay-day and I live ony 35 miles apart. So what's the big deal? She lives in Brooklyn and I live in Jersey. We might as well live in Oakland and Boston. There is so much traffic and delays that on a good day it takes me 3 1/3 hours to see her. We don't date during week becuase it is impossible and takes way too long. I usually see her on Saturdays if I'm not somewhere doing a gig.
It's just funny becuase on a map, it should only take about 45 minutes if I could to 65 miles an hour. -

I think you need to invent the Noner Flux Capacitor. You could have been there yesterday.

Yeah and then I can see myself arrive again and laugh at myself becuase I was late:
That hurt my head.
I just need 1.21 gigawats!

I hear there is a certain amount of hair loss when you apply that amount of gigawatts, which in the Professor's case is a good thing.

I don't know how anyone can live in a city, especially a BIG city or even worse a conglomeration of BIG cities. I'd go nutz man. Traffic?

Caro Noner. When we first married (1971) we lived in Chelsea Square, my family lived in Brooklyn, and my job was in Paramus, NJ--all within a 35 mile radius, but as you said, we might have lived in Bangor and they in LA. I came to HATE the Westside Highway and the BQE (has it ever been 'express'?), which my wife dubbed The Trench. Ordinary Americans--those born and raised outside the NYC metro area--will never appreciate the exquisite agony of trying to traverse those 35 miles, going 15 mph, with one's left foot going numb and paralytic on the clutch, in 2nd gear. When I got back to West 20th Street (off 9th Ave.), I had to car-sit until the alternative side of the street parking regulations changed. It cost me, man. We did it four years, which convinced the separation could not go on. I liked Jersey, even though I did not know anything about it, because we finally had our own alleyway (Brooklynese=driveway). Ciao, Prof. Melon

Well I didn't attach the message that I told the shopgirl in my first post of this thread. Instead I was a good boy and bought $40 worth of flowers. Then that night, the wife decided that she was allergic to something in the arrangement, so I took the flowers and gave them to my sister in law.
As for me, I didn't get anything, about what I expected.

I ended up buying the wife a necklace and The Godiva chocolates. Oh yeah, and a movie I hid the necklace in. (Boy was she pissed!!!! hahahahaha) She thought I had forgotten all about her. I told her not to get me anything, because I had already gotten myself something. hehehehehehehe

"Ordinary Americans?" -

Ordinary Americans--those born and raised outside the NYC metro area.
And those god-like New Yorkers wonder why (though probably don't care) why us Ordinary Americans find them so obnoxious. -

What is wrong with New Yorkers?
