After over 40 years as a couple Marta and I....

Because of a small schedule change for Marta, we will be carpooling for 3-4 days a week. We work about 6 blocks away from each other. I'm enjoying having a co-pilot that has so much in common with me and pleasant conversation.

I've carpooled often. Just never with Marta.

I admit it's not always the case with my hubby. He annoys me as a driver. LOL

There are the every other weekends I work. Fridays I'm off every other week. Same with Tuesdays. So it isn't an every day thing.

Your post title scared me!

I thought your marriage was breaking up, or something dire like that.

Glad to hear that you will be carpooling!

Last year, my husband had to drive me to and from work for a couple of weeks. It was really nice time together, although we don't agree on radio stations! LOL

Glad you're here! Hey, carpooling is great! Part of the time you get to sit and relax while somebody else drives! Just isn't a whole lotta bad about that, as far as I can see!
