road trip

ok, so...during church it occurred to me that i could go to washington dc on sunday from cincinnati as easily as i can from d-ville...my spouse and daughter are going to cincy on saturday night to be johnny-on-the-spot for a triatholon in sunday morning just down the hill from my sister-in-law's house.....i figure that i'd rather be with them all on saturday night for dinner than home alone.....and so my trip will be as follows...saturday...d-ville to cincy; sunday cincy to washington...monday...washington to princeton and back....tuesday washington to d-ville.......at this point i have an entire lecture series on the english novel for my driving entertainment, and hope to receive in the mail slaughterhouse-five and the great gatsby on cd by saturday midday..........interesting vocal performances are the best part of a long trip, by the way...whether sung or spoken.....and at some point i need to prepare for our arrival home, as we will be celebrating my spouse's birthday on tuesday.....he will be performing the parental role at the soccer banquet on monday while i am gone rather than enjoying his birthday.......
