OK, so St. Cloud is 1 hr 15 minutes from the Cities if everything goes *right*. It's highway driving, on 94, for about 45 minutes of it, and city driving, through the heart of traffic and ugliness, for about 45 minutes of it, from where I live.

Last night, I left St. Cloud at 9 pm, ran into a thunderstorm, and got home around 11 pm.

If we were to live in-between, I would have a 45 minute commute and in-house call, and Mike would have an hour and 15 minute commute (due to rush hour traffic).
