We all worked for a company that was interesting but didn&#8217;t pay that much and it was an interesting group of people. Plus, I got to work downtown instead of in the &#8216;burbs. My first commute was 40 minutes walking instead of 40 minutes driving each day. Sure saved a lot on gas and kind of gave me some minimal exercise. Ah, well, I&#8217;m sure it\u00c2\u00a0 looks a lot better in retrospect.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>My ass is getting larger.
