Too much driving, not enough sleep

Wedding festivities have come and gone. It was a long Saturday with two weddings and one reception, but things went relatively smoothly. Nine people were left when the reception ended at 8pm... and 6 of the 9 were me and my immediate family-in-law. At that point there was still a keg and a half of beer left, so the only logical thing to do was take it all back to the Coffman Club and spend the rest of the night killing the 1/2 barrel. Ya can't let good beer go to waste now, can you?

After waking up with a headache (thanks in-part to a portion of the previously-mentioned 1/2 barrel), we drove back to Chicago to complete our 3rd round trip to Michigan in 6-or-so weeks. Needless to say, we're taking a little hiatus from road trips until the ass marks work themselves out of the car seats.

Two good results of this most recent road trip - New battery terminal wiring (it's a long story involving tape, yarn, and only 2 trips to AutoZone) and the knowledge that my car passed 126k miles with flying colors.

Now we're going to spend some quality time at home relaxing and playing with the dog. Oh... and a heaping spoonful of hockey! I especially like that last one. ;-)
