out of town

I'm heading off to Cincinnati for a week and change. I'm supposed to have net access later today and tomorrrow night, but I expect access to be very limited come Sunday. You should assume I'll be in write-only mode; if there's something I should see send email or a comment.

And lo, the network access is as advertised.

For places with "suite" in their names, this hotel is very low-end. Which is mostly fine; all I need from the kitchen is a fridge, though I suspect minimal utensils are normal. (I brought my own anyway.) My only complaint is not related to its suite-ness; I reserved a non-smoking room and they didn't have any left to give me. Yuck. It's not overwhelming, but it's certainly annoying.

The drive took about five hours. (Finding the hotel once I'd unknowingly missed the turn the first time took another 25 minutes.) I've realized why I dislike long drives: I start getting tired and sloppy after four hours. I think I'm a better-than-average defensive driver (that is, I'm not claiming driving skill in general, just the sub-skill of doing it defensively), but that requires work. Apparently I'm good for two hours at a stretch, repeat up to once. :-) (No, nothing bad happened, but I was feeling the effects.)

Tonight and tomorrow murmur311 will be taking me to her synagogue for services. I'm looking forward to seeing her again and exploring a new synagogue. (I think we're going somewhere different from where we went last year.)
