Hi Ed,
I live on Cape Cod (where my research activities are focussed: white tailed deer/coyote ecology) and teach in Boston - which is an 82 mile commute. If I leave at 5am - the trip takes approximately 1.5 hours. If I leave after that (during rush hour) the commute takes 2/2.5 hours.
I stay in Boston 2-3 nights/week to reduce commuting time (only 27K miles in eleven months on my '02 Aero)
the decision to stay on Cape was related to school choice, professional commitments, recreation (mountain biking and ocean kayaking) and the tremendous investment in my house which is custom-designed for my particular needs (research lab, workshop, guest/student facilities, etc.). Its a fine balance but I am away from my family 2-3 nights/week (they are probably psyched! :-)
Best,
eric
