Dichotomy...

I'm now in Charlotte after a horrendous drive. Horrendous until I got past Fredricksburg at least. Normally it takes me abotu 6.5 hours to drive from Fairfax to Jennifer's house since it's on the far side of Charlotte from 85. Today it took 8.5 hours. Why you ask? Because it took me 2 hours to get from my office at Fair Lakes, going down 123 to sit in the parking lot that was I-95, hopping over to US-1, getting stuck behind an accident, and then getting back onto 95 off of Rte 3 at Fredericksburg. On a typically day, I can get from my apartment to downtown richmond in 2 hours flat. I didn't even make it half that far in as much time today. Grrr... Fortunately, the rest of the drive was smooth sailing apart from a few people who got scared of a little rain and proceeded to forget how to drive. I made good time from Richmod on though, so I was happy about that. It's fun to be here with Jennifer and her dogs and various other pets and see soem of my fun family again. And tomorrow Emily arrives! Yay!
