Why the Lucky Commuter?

You might be wondering why I picked "The Lucky Commuter" as the title of my blog. If you are, then you're in luck, because I'm going to tell you. I'm the Lucky Commuter because my commute to work every day (in Northern Ontario) is 10 minutes long, and the road I take runs along some of the prettiest lakeshore in the province. Traffic is always light, and almost always moving in the opposite direction.

Of course I pay for this luck in the winters, with my weekly 5 hour commute home from Toronto to see my wife and daughter, on the Highway 400/11 corridor. That certainly makes up for the great summer commuting I get to do.
