My Life In Baraboo

I have been thinking that maybe with this blog I should periodically write about things that I have done in Baraboo or minor events that occur in a small city. So, here is the first in what may or may not become a series known as "My Life In Baraboo."

One thing that is really great about living here is my commute to work. I had various apartments while living in Chicago and the surrounding area. Most of my commutes averaged 30 minutes (only going 4 miles). When I lived out in the western suburb of Villa Park, which was roughly 21 miles from my apartment to my work, my commute was on a very good day 1.5 hours!! The longest was 4 hours, due to weather and road construction. However, here in Baraboo, I leave the house with a song on the radio and that same song is still playing when I pull into the parking lot at work. Yes, my commute is that short! So, when I think about living in a small town and how cramped it can feel at times, I remind myself of my short commute and instantly begin to feel better about my life in Baraboo.
