What can YOU do in 190 minutes?

I'll tell you what I did in 190 minutes last night.  I left my office at 5:45 and walked through my front door at 8:55.  Yes, that's 3 hours and 10 minutes door to door.  My commute usually takes about 50 minutes to go 9 miles.  And to make it even better I spent all but about 25 minutes of that time standing on a Metro bus wedged between my fellow commuters.  It was really rather remarkable.  In that amount of time I could have watched almost all of my favorite movie, Gone With The Wind.  Or driven almost all the way to Blacksburg to see Jane.  Luckily a cell phone and a Blackberry made it somewhat bearable, but it was too difficult and uncomfortable to read my book.  The massive delays were thanks to an ice storm and several multiple-car pile-ups on 395, essentially turning the highway into more of a parking lot than it usually is.  Not such a fun way to spend a Tuesday night, that's for sure!
