Day +53: I Feel Those Commuter Blues Coming On

Not much to report from Palo Alto. It was one of those quiet Sundays where sedentary inertia was the governing force. Keith is currently absorbed with the newest Pokemon game on Nintendo DS and continues to feel good, making daily steady progress in hopes of getting the official nod to return to Orinda once again. Monday, as usual, will be a busy day for Keith with stops at the clinic, school and the radiation department.

The big news of the day had nothing to do with Keith but has a huge effect on our lives. As anyone who lives in the Bay Area already knows, a major section of the Bay Bridge approach collapsed this morning leaving tens of thousands of commuters like myself confounded as to how to get back and forth between San Francisco and the East Bay for the next few months. Yes, there’s BART, but Bart doesn’t get me to Palo Alto so this is a complication that we didn’t really need right now. I guess this is where 'grin and bear it' patience needs to be observed.

This used to be my commute…
