One of the best aspects of walking to the Metro stop (through a residential area) is that I sing the entire way. I sing according to the weather--in good weather, country and western, in mist and rain, Irish, and in real blustery weather, sea chanteys--unless there's something specific I'm trying to memorize. It's great to climb a hill to "Once more we sail with a northerly gale/ Through the ice and wind and rain...."

Lots of people seem to wear Walkmen, carry I-pods etc, but nobody else seems to sing without assistance.

It's 4 long songs or 5 short songs to the subway.
