My far-too-optimistic plan for leaving for vacation today was to be out of the house by noon. It is now 12:52. We'll be lucky to leave by 2. But we're only going 4 1/2 hours today, so that's not bad. We've had vacations where we rolled up to our interim hotel at like 11 pm. (And I really hope I didn't just jinx myself.)

I still remember the first time I drove into Cincinnati from the airport in 1996 and thinking, holy crap this is the exact open credits shot from WKRP.

That's such a great view of the city, coming up 75.
