Yea, the location thing is wearing on me, too. Maybe my world was smaller when I lived in Boxborough and commuted to Hudson, but life seemed easier. I don't have traffic to deal with (thankfully), unless there's some unusual situation, but I live for Wednesdays and Fridays when I don't go to the office and I only see one, maybe two clients, who live near me.
This morning I am seeing parents who live 5 miles from my house, in Carlisle... I am going to ride my bike .
