September 18, 2011.

We just got back from a whirlwind visit to New Jersey. Drove up late Friday and spent time with my Mom. Dined with the oldest boychild and finally met his lovely girlfriend. Shared a meal and some time with my brother and his family.

The trouble with whirlwinds is that they happen too quickly. We missed seeing several people that we wanted to catch up with. Duty calls. Drove back to Naptown on Sunday afternoon. Fantasized about horrible flaming deaths for several other drivers. We took a vote and it was unanimous, we hate driving anymore.
