No Chauffeur Required

This afternoon I wanted to get a manicure; Doug wanted to veg out and watch golf. No problem - I just drove myself. It was the first time in nearly two months. I thought it would feel like a big deal, but it was just like hopping in the car any other time and driving.

I am glad I got that out of the way though. I have to head out to LA in about a week and a half, and anyone who has driven out there knows what a challenge it can be. The reality is, because of public transportation, I drive more days in LA every year than I do in New York. Just the same, I'm glad my first time back on the road isn't in a rental car headed towards the 405.
