Well, Pats fans, look on the bright side.  Many people stayed up late to watch the game last night and slept late this morning, which meant a lighter morning rush for the rest of us.  Not that a relatively trouble-free commute makes the Colts win worth it, but at least it didn't snow today, right?  It wasn't horribly, terribly cold, right?  We didn't have one of those 'double the normal drivetime' kind of mornings, right? 

Those of us who watched the game last night and had to be at work early this morning were probably driving while tired and somewhat dejected, too.  My co-workers were definitely a bit sad without a Superbowl to look forward to. 

We had some of the usual delays on Route 93 South coming in from Route 128, and a disabled crane on the Expressway North near Columbia Road meant for heavy congestion from the Braintree Split, but that was about it. 

So, where were you this morning? Did you watch the game last night and go to work as usual today?  Or, did you pull the curtains closed, stay home, and tell your boss that you can't come in because the Colts won? 

I say that there is always next year for the Pats.  I also say that there is always tomorrow for the next slow morning commute!  We will definitely see heavier volume tomorrow morning, so get ready for that.  And when you drive in Tuesday, just think of what Ed Harding and Heather Unruh were saying this morning:  Spring training starts in a few weeks for our beloved Red Sox!  Think of the April delays along Storrow Drive through Kenmore Square and you're guaranteed to feel better.
