Franklinsanity

8:26 am, Columbus, OH – Waiting for room service in a Sheraton overcrowded by a high school softball and baseball tournament.  Tensions running high.

Or at least they are with Awesome Wife.  The dogs are staring mournfully at themselves in a mirror.  The kids are watching Mickey Mouse.  I am writing.

Full hotel + B-grade hotel + reality = the requested time ranges on the breakfast card are kind of a joke.  But Kelly travels less than I do, so this is likely not ingrained.  Also, my bad last night for not forecasting it.

Oonagh crapped in the room last night, though – we were all a little distracted.

On a side note:  Columbus, OH appears to be fixing literally every major road all at the same time.  I was joking last night when I said it reminded me of my youth.  But seriously, this puts the BQE to shame.  You’d think they had the Big Dig going or something.  Total nightmare.

Brings to mind the idea that it might be smart to use Waze/Google not just for real-time nav, but also pre-navigation/planning!

(I have the feeling I am suddenly discovering something – like running water from a faucet – that hundreds of thousands of people take for granted.)

Traffic on the blog is down, though page views per person are way up.  Go loyal readers!  That person in Denmark still hasn’t returned, darn them.

Today, Pennsylvania.  Might as well be Transylvania, from the way Kelly talks about driving through it.  Actually, Transylvania is probably a lot more beautiful.  Still, Philly and relatives at the end of it.

Onward!
