Ways to beat a long commute

So those that know me, know that I have a long commute to work and back every day. I spend (on average) 2 1/2 to 3 hours a day in the car. My favourite way to pass the time is to listen to audio books. I don't usually listen to fiction books - I tend to prefer non-fiction or short story type books. So, when the neighbour lady gave me a copy of Stuart McLean Vinyl Café (the New Stories), I found a new obsession...

The stories are each about 1/2 hour long -- perfect for the drive home! So, I listen to one story every night on the way home. They are funny, and thought provoking. My Grandma was a great story teller, so I think that's why I'm so fond of his stories. Then, I found the Christmas version at Chapters, and bought that too.

So, between the two Vinyl Café collections and my Christmas music CDs, I'm good to go until after New Years.
