Where's Bill ? The ambassador is already here . The meeting is set to start at 9 am .   He's late again . Traffic is probably holding him up . You know , he commutes from the suburbs . It's not easy commuting every day . We should cut him some slack .   Even though the traffic is bumper-to-bumper out there , I don't think it's heavy traffic that makes Bill late . He takes the train , remember ?   Oh , that's right . Well , the train shouldn't be late . That means there is only one explanation ... Bill must have overslept .   Well , to be fare , since he's coming all the way from Lancaster , he's got to get up much earlier than the rest of us . He must get start on his commute about six thirty , no telling what time he actually gets up .   That's right , because he's got to get to the train station from his house , then take the blue line into the city , then switch trains to the red line . In all , the trip's got to take more than 2 hours .   Why doesn't he just drive to work ?
