The majority of my drive to Washington was spent on I-55. For the first stretch of I-55, I couldn't go more than 5 miles without running into some sort of slowdown. City traffic, flaming car wreck, general confusion over entrance and exit ramps - you name it. As Meg predicted, once I got past I-80, things cleared up. Good thing, too - after the couch ordeal, I wouldn't have been able to handle 100+ miles of congestion. While I was on the road, I was able to get this great picture.
Also while on the road, I wrote a couple of reminders on my hand. I didn't try to take pictures of the reminders while driving, but I did once I got to Mike and Meg's. On the back of my hand, I reminded myself to give Patrick his baptism card from Klondike. (Patrick, by the way, was baptized last October.)
On my palm, I reminded myself that the season premiere of Rescue Me was on Wednesday night at 9 central. That's a good show.
Next I tried to take pictures of Patrick, with varying success.
Finally, Mike and I went on a quick beer run to Friar Tuck's, which features mix-and-match six packs. Not pictured is Golden Pheasant, the Slovak beer I purchased. Since I was only in Washington for a few days, Mike and I decided not to purchase the bottle shown below:
I spend all of Thursday in Washington before heading out to the Field of Dreams and College World Series Friday. That's assuming I can figure out how to get in 8 hours of driving before 6 PM. Wish me luck

I am sure you will be happy to know that I was indeed able to return the couch for a full refund. This is despite the fact it was bought at a tent sale where, "all sales are final, no returns or exchanges."
Phew, that's a relief. Are you still sans couch, or did you get a new one?
