i live in northern MD, work in DC. my train pulls out at 5:05 AM, i get to union station around 7:00 AM. at night my train leaves at 6:00, i get home around 8:00. with the extra sleep time i need in order to function, i am still able to squeeze off at least 90 min of uninterrupted reading time on the train and then go home, deal with wife/kids/bills/life stuff and still have a good hour or so to research stuff in my lab before bedtime happens and it all starts again.....at this rate, i am trying to set a schedule of finishing CCNP by early summer.
