During lunchtime/afternoon it literally takes me one hour to get from Westbury to Uniondale via Old Country Road *LOL* thank goodness I can now walk to my job.

The funny thing about this article is that everybody in New York lies through their teeth whenever they say how long it takes them to get anywhere. If a New Yorker says he gets to work in 31 minutes, rest assured that the commute takes at least an hour. My family has made a joke about how long it takes to get from Jersey to Westchester. Somebody walks in the door, and the first question, even before "How are you?" is "How was the traffic?" We always say that it only took 15 minutes to go 45 miles, and laugh. Usually it's close to two hours, but what's the use of whining about that?

A great piece of advice was what an 'old-timer' told me when I was in my teens:

"Make sure you find a bathroom somewhere BEFORE you start traveling on a subway, train, bus or car."

In from Westchester every single weekday. I drive about a mile to park at the train station, take the nice comfy Metro-North RR 32 minutes to Grand Central, then pleasant 10-minute midtown walk to my office. About 45-50 minutes.

And I love it. I wouldn't trade my morning train ritual of coffee, bagel & newspaper for anything. It's the only time all day no one is bugging me.
