Sometimes, circumstances conspire against you. Yesterday, I went to a conference all day in Cincinnati. It entailed getting up at 5 am, driving about 3 hours, attending the conference from 9-5, then driving more than 3 hours back (Cincinnati rush hour traffic is UGLY), and going to bed very early.

Well, bright and early tomorrow, I will be taking off on a nearly three week trip which will take me all along the continental US as well as two foreign countries.
