successfully returned alive

More in question than one might normally think. One of our less desirable souvenirs was a raging head cold, parting gift from Eor's little niece, we guess, so Eor made the last 14 hour drive through chills and fever. Ohio to Maine was two hours longer than usual because we got caught in rush-hour-pre-holiday-weekend traffic - everyone in Connecticut, New York, New Jersey and Massachusetts seemed to be headed north. At one point we abandoned the highway for back roads as being more conducive to our sanity if not our progress.

So today we've been lying around being sluggards and doing the bare min toward staying alive. Tomorrow we hope to be more alert as we're attending some part of the Pumpkinfest with littleredhead and groundctrl.

Hopefully I'll get myself together to post something about the trip in the next few days.
