On my seventh birthday, I wanted a toy fire truck, and I didn't get it, and you were real nice about it, and then the house next door burnt down, and then real firetrucks came, and for years I thought you set the fire for me. And if you did, you can tell me!

I drive 90 miles roundtrip every (week)day.

Mine is 160 miles per day. Does that mean that I win the competition, or lose?

Ha. Matt, I happily concede any title I may have won to you. (Also, my sympathies!)

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."

Hey, Deena, Cashmere -- do you happen to know what the quickest/easiest way would be to go from Chicago to Zanesville? I'm thinking 30 to 23 then 670 around to 70? Or 80 then down 77? Or back through Indpls, 65 to 70?

Hmm. It's a shame, though, each of those ways would take me near one of you, but we'll have a buddy with us and I dunno if we'd be able to coordinate a stop. Tomorrow, btw.

Now tagless for your comfort.

Liese, I'd say the quickest route would be through Indy, 65 to 70. Then it's a long, boring, straight shot to Zanesville. Try to shoot for NOT going through Columbus on 70 around commuting time, though to be safe. It gets nasty congestion where 70/71 split near downtown.

Crap. Owen and I are leaving tomorrow for Indiana at noon so we'll be passing each other on the way, prolly.

Love is stronger than death and harder than sorrow. Those who practice it are fierce like the light of stars traveling eons to pierce the night.

Looking at my work schedule for the Minneapolis weekend, Saturday will be the day for us to hang around late morning, early afternoon.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.

Oh, Oh, Nicole! On my way to bed something made me stop in the guest room to see if I could see your deer out that window, and there they were, just meandering down the street.

It was cool.

Ann, that's a ferret.

Liese, I'd say the quickest route would be through Indy, 65 to 70.

I have done this drive. The only idea to toss out is that Indy has a Beltway (I-465) that'll get you from 65 to 70 wihtout going through downtown.

Yup. As does Columbus--I270, if you want to go around the city instead of dealing with the downtown traffic.

I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…

Cool. So, 11 - 3 ish?
