Yesterday we took a few buses and while I wouldn’t call myself a Capital Metro-nado, we traveled far and had what I surmised was a pretty typical experience.

I use Twitter to help me keep track of the things I do in life that I find enjoyable. For example, if I go for a bike ride or take a walk with my family, I just make a quick note. That way, if I'm ever feeling like life's lacking, I can just get a little reminder.
