To car, or not to car

I was thinking the other day - is a car really essential? We live in a day and age where driving 30 or more minutes to get to work, dinner, church or anywhere else is no biggie. We hop in the car just to run down to the store to pick up some milk. We'd rather sit and be frustrated by peak hour traffic than stand and be frustrated by public transport.

I've been living without my car for a few days (it's getting some work done) and have really enjoyed walking everywhere, catching the ferry to and from work and occasionally getting a lift with my parents / bro. Makes me feel young and frolicsome again. Is that a word? Oh well, if not, I've just invented it.

Ooh, and I'm starting up my next new activity in a couple of weeks - private figure skating lessons! I'm quietly freaking out about it, cos I loooove watching it, know all the moves and am one of the biggest Michelle Kwan fans ever, but can just picture myself being totally un-co on the ice. Oh well, if I can learn horse riding and ballroom dancing, then why not figure skating? Wish me luck!
