About Lynn

I've always had a long-distance commute to work. It used to come in at about thirty thousand miles each year and that's where I got the name for this site. I also telecommute and I have for years. I use the internet to work in my office remotely, and I love it. I created this site to share my tips and thoughts about telecommuting and long-distance commuting, since I do both. I hope you enjoy my site.
