Standing On Boxes

The next part of my TtH100 entry is well under way (but unfinished), and I had an idea for a short ficlet (Pat Morita died last week… and Hilary Swank did one of those “Karate Kid” movies with him… and she was also in the “Buffy the Vampire Slayer” movie (one of Buffy’s groupies/friends) which sparked an idea… but I’m going to have to find a copy of that movie if I want to actually finish the ficlet I started… I don’t remember enough details)

I’ve also done some more work on “The Two” revisions prior to writing the next part…

For those playing the home game… and didn’t notice I was out of town…

My Thanksgiving trip this year was 5 days driving, 4 days with family.

Roughly speaking :

1. Nov 19th 12:50pm –> 8PM [7 hrs] [468.2 miles] (odometer start :141,465)
2. Nov 20th 8AM –> 4:30PM [8.5 hrs] [546.4 miles]
3. Nov 21st 3PM-9PM [6 hrs] [275 miles]
4. Nov 26th 8:15AM –> 2:45PM [6.5 hrs] [271.8 miles]
5. Nov 26th 2:45PM –> 12:30AM [10.25 hrs] [517 miles]
6. Nov 27th 8:45AM –> 4:20PM [7.5 hrs] [528 miles] (odometer end :144,206)

For approximately 46 hours of driving. and 2741 miles.

Of course, no real details… the gap on the 21st was me doing things in NH for the morning until I picked up the T and we hit the road.

And yes, the 26th wasn’t originally a bad idea… I ‘ve done that much driving in one day before… (but the roads weren’t very good for the start of the second half of it… and I was exhausted by the end of it… I was lucky I found the motel (And yes, they DID leave the light on for me ))

And… don’t bother trying to figure out my average speed per day… some days I would take long breaks… others… almost none…

Why yes, I AM tired…
