Nice to hear from you, CB. When I was working (and husband still does on his commute) I would borrow audiobooks from the library and either pop the cd's in the car or transfer them to my mp3 player and listen during my commute. I was always able to leave home at home and work at work, if you know what I mean.
Check to see if you can search your local library system online and reserve audiobooks. Mine were always waiting for me (I did the same with videos and books) and if I kept abreast of my favorite author's release dates I could always be one of the first to get them (they'd send an email letting me know that they were waiting for me) by reserving them as soon as they were listed as "on order" at the library.
