I'm sorry, dad. You know I would never have tried to save River's life if I had known there was a dinner party at risk.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.

The girl with the shoes or the one who doesn't put them away.

My ex used to mess with me by putting my shoes in the closet every so often. I always just assumed shoes lived by the door. At least the pairs in heavy rotation. I would walk around looking like a lost puppy and eventually he'd stop laughing and point me towards the closet.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I don't actually mind my 45-60 minute commute most days.

And my shoes are all over the floor of my bedroom, except for the ones I should really get rid of, which are in the closet.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

There's a big difference between a commute on public transportation and a commute in a car ("idiot, get out of my way, why are you doing TWENTY on the FREEWAY, get off your phone, no, really, it's fine, I don't mind slamming on my brakes so you don't kill me, oh, good, now it's raining.").

Yeah, absolutely. A car commute would kill me. At least everyone's standing still for much of the train ride.

Jesse, get rid of the shoes you should.

Ideally my commute would be 30 minutes and I could leave early enough to get a seat each way. I actually did not liking walking to work for the year and a half that I did it. No reading and I had to be too engaged what with the watching where I was going and stuff.

Yeah, yeah. Maybe I can continue the building give-away we've had going on for the past week or so. Someone must be clearing out their apartment, because one day it was a pile of books, one day it was video tapes, another day dishes, etc.

Provided we don't have problems (like drawbridges getting stuck in the upright position), the commuter train from Salem to Boston is faster than driving even if there wasn't rush hour to deal with. Rush hour on Route 128? You couldn't PAY me enough to make that drive every day.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

I prefer the approx one hour train and bus-or-walk commute to the 25 minute drive commute. Probably because I can shut my brain off if I'm not driving.

Mine is a 15 minute walk to and from the train, a half hour on the train, and a 10 minute walk to and from work. Add in 5-10 minutes for waiting around and it's just about an hour each way, give or take a few minutes.

It used to be closer to an hour and a half, but both my work and I moved closer to the train on each end.
