it passed almost without me even noticing it, but this week marked two years since the monumental decision to ditch my car on my commute and start taking marta.
i wish i could calculate the money i have saved. there is no doubt it runs several thousand dollars deep. i do know that on the marta i have read classic novels i never wold have including the brothers karamzov, jane eyre and bleak house just to name a few. i have also written two nanowrimo novels, almost completely on the marta.
i haven’t been posting about the marta as much lately. truth is, i haven’t been posting about much of anything lately, something i am trying to get better about doing again. but i must say that part of it is also that things that used to seem unusual or extraordinary to me on the buses and trains now just seem commonplace and not so worthy of note.
one item i do have to call myself out on is that over the last few month i have been really, really bad about not getting up in time to catch the morning #9 bus, opting to drive to inman park in the morning and get on the train there. i am putting a line in the sand for monday though. i am getting up and getting on the bus.
