Thursday, December 2nd

Hey I set a personal best driving distance record today of 657 miles.  This was over a period of over ten and three-quarter hours (maximum hours you can drive as a commercial class A driver is 11-hours-per-day.  Since it was mainly freeway driving, I averaged just over 61 MPH.  Cool!

I was late for my appointment today by 1/2 hour.  Somewhere I managed to miscalculate the hours needed to deliver the load (either I added up miles wrong or the miles given to me by the computer program via QualComm was incorrect).  In any event, the two hours I overslept in Toledo, OH would have erased the problem easily.  Oh well....

Well my wife is teaching the twins in the neighborhood beginning piano lessons.  Their first lesson went OK.  Now my daughter and son (who both play violin) have decided that they want to learn how to play the piano as well (after all, they have to keep up with the twins who are a year older than them!)

Other than that, nothing is really new on the home front.  My wife's business is off on another growth phase.  I'm not sure how she can do everything while I'm away.  Yet somehow she manages.  We're both pleased at how it is growing.  Who would have thought that a part-time business would actually work?!

miles driven = 657
