Well, you could define ‘trip’ two ways: a travelling experience and to be weirded out by something (as in a drug trip). This trip was really, really, really weird. Picking up the rental car the gal at (dis-)Advantage rent a car asked me where I was going.

“Indianapolis, Indiana,” I replied.

“Will you be going through Arizona on your way?”

“Um, no.”

Not the brightest bulb in the basket.

And then last night at 1:00 AM when I was completely exhausted we checked into a ‘Best Western.’ Best is an overstatement. Western was wrong, we’re in the mid-west. The pillow case was missing on one of the pillows, but I just put my shirt over it and went to sleep. Then, in the morning we discovered that the shower drain drained about 2 ounces per second. This means that you take a shower while the water collects and your feet mingle with the water that is mingling with the drain scum that is clogging it. GROSS!

However, conversation was fun, Abby was well behaved and we made it in good time.

All is well – we’re in Plainfield now.
