OOC Sword of Valor, Wrath of the Righteous AP by MLeibrock and Scotley

Those pesky puddles do get in the way. I actually consulted google maps to get that number. I guess Queenie would have to pass more substantially congested spaces coming down from Long Island, because the total miles traveled only about a hundred less for you, but the time was nearly five hours shorter. Again, the degree to which you are willing exceed posted speed limits and make risky overtakes on the two lanes can change the time substantially. As those who have ridden to past Lakecon's with me can attest, the times given by google maps or a gps can be bested by a considerable margin if you have the nerves for it. I saw the perfect license plate on a new Mustang GT the other day--NEVRL8.

As Scotley's most customary shotgun-rider, allow me to just quickly use the porta potty and say sheeeeeeee-it yes!

 

[mleibrock]

Love that idea!

Perhaps when Bilbo described it as "a perfect house, whether you like food or sleep or story-telling or singing, or just sitting and thinking best, or a pleasant mixture of them all," he was referring to gaming when he said 'story-telling?'

Thurs Oct 15 - Sun Oct 18! Can't wait!

 

[Scotley]

It is a little early for me to commit to a time of arrival on Thursday, but I hope it will be early enough we won't be late for dinner.

 

[Leif]

When you say "dinner," are you using it in the hillbilly way to mean "lunch," or the other way to mean "supper?" Are you going to have to work Thursday, all day or in part? I wonder if I shouldhead up there on my own Thursday morning?

 

[Scotley]

I expect I'll need to work a half day on Thursday. Still really too early to be sure. I'm just going to be coming back from a beach vacation the week before, so I fear I'm going to have a ton of work. Taking two full days may be a stretch for me. Unfortunately, I have a certain volume of crap that has to be done and it doesn't go away when I'm not there.

 

[Queenie]

Well, I HAVE driven to Indianapolis, 16+ hours to game. But that's probably my limit

You well know I'm from Lawng I-land

Yes, living here you are damned if you do and damned if you don't. You love living being able to access The City so easily and yet you have to drive through the damn thing every time you want to go anywhere, which adds substantial amounts of travel and stress. No, seriously, I have to take a Xanax to get through the drive :-l

 

[Leif]

For reals? You have to be medicaqted to drive the city? THAT sounds safe!

Yeah, my limited experience with NYC has not included driving there, but I have to say that I did learn some interesting techniques for merging riding in the back of cabs. Those NYC cabbies got skills!

Say what you will about Memphis, sure we got crime, racial strife, blight, unemployment, some of the worst public schools, and a laughably bad local government, but at least the traffic is modest compared to other cities. Take your silver linings where you can get them right?
