More on commuting

I noticed this morning that the ratio of prep time to ride time is even more skewed on the days I take Cailan to daycare. Wrestling a semi-cooperative preschooler into coat, mittens, and helmet, buckling him into the trailer, tucking a blanket all around him, and snugly securing the trailer's cover adds several minutes to the prep time. I probably ride a bit slower when I'm pulling the trailer but not enough to substantially change the ride time.

I ask him every morning when we get to campus, "Are you ok? Did you stay warm enough?" He always answers yes. I hope it's true.
