I commuted on Christmas eve, commuted to my church gig for midnight mass. I'm an occasional church choir singer. New York churches have Jews in the choir because we happen to be free at church times. I was almost late, so I had to haul my behind really hard, which is hard on Citi Bike. I was tired from everything, I.e. the hard ride, the late singing. We didn't get out until 1:20am, so I decided to do the lazy thing and take the subway home. That turned out to be a mistake. The trains ran slowly, and the company I had on the train wasn't so pleasant, as you might imagine. But I made it home eventually.

My wife suggested I take the car the next day, as I had another Christmas service to sing. Without thinking, I took her suggestion. She was right that parking was easy since the city was so empty. But I don't like driving, so it wasn't fun. I should have ridden.
