Me too, it would have been a really boring week at home all by myself with
nothing to do but finish all the projects I've been putting off.

LOL, yeah, something like that. None-the-less, we're still going to have to

Yes, it's about 8 hours from Chicago but I want to be sure that *IF* we have

before we risk "burnin' up all the daylight" and I risk having to set up a
tent in the dark.
