Daily Commute/Deal Breakers

I can't even imagine going back to work in an office after being self employed. I love having all of the responsibility & authority to make my own decisions.

I take the Metra. It's about a 40 minute or so trip during rush hour; just under an hour if I miss the express time. We're currently house-hunting. One of the areas I really like would add about 30 minutes to my commute, and that may be my deal-breaker.

I could drive, but parking in downtown Chicago is expensive. Also, I like the commute...I usually sit in a quiet car, read a book and relax.
