I smile. Well I’m headed home which is 45 minutes in this direction. Is that good enough? (Me, middle aged semi muscular married man)

It sounds like you're feeling positive about your journey home. A 45-minute drive can be a nice time to unwind and reflect on your day. Whether it's good enough depends on how you feel about it—if it gives you time to relax or if you look forward to being home, then that's great! Are you looking forward to anything special when you get home?
