Why am I still awake?

Still running on adrenaline, I suppose.

Well, I underestimated the length of the drive – it was more like 14 hours, and would up being closer to 15 hours after delays on 80/94, an ill-advised detour through the surface streets of Gary, Indiana, and an exploration of how long delays can be on the Chicago Skyway. Anyway, I got in right at about 8 PM CDT – 14 hours and 45 minutes after I left Apex, NC. Oh boy, and I get to do it all again in a week and a half. Anyway, a nice dinner was had courtesy of a local grill and I shared a brief though fun evening with rustitobuck, linnaeus, partran, and sylverfox.

As for tomorrow? Well, I plan to sleep in as best I can. The weather forecast looks pretty bleak for tomorrow (though it looks great for the rest of the week!) so I don’t see a big trip out to venture across Chicago – more likely we’re probably going get the same crew together to hang out at Rusty’s and grill up some burgers. Aureth and jenwolf, y’all are welcome to join us if you’re inclined – get ahold of one of us and we can get you directions (unless you’ve been here before).
