Today I took Jon 
StarRazor to Cleveland for the first part of the trip to visit his parents. His mom and sister met us there and he went on with them and I came home. My trip was rather calm as far as traffic goes. There were the usual few annoyingly aggressive drivers out today. There were TONS of speed traps cause it's a holiday weekend. (However, I fail to see the point of driving over the speed limit since the limit on the Ohio turnpike is 70, that's certainly fast enough.)
Jon and I talked a lot on the way out about some writing projects we are working on and other things regarding art. Since I started my new job and I am gone all day 5 days per week, it was really nice to have some time when we could just sit and talk.
Then, we made a minor error... when we got off of the turnpike on our exit in Ohio, we needed to pay attention to the directions and make sure we made the right turns to get onto 77 north... unfortunately, I realized just as we passed the "cleveland - 77" ramp that we were heading south to Akron... I was rather stressed... wrong direction. But, we were earlier than his mom would be there so we had time, I just needed to get going back the right direction. I thought... next exit, get off and get back on the other way... The next exit ended up being another divided highway and we couldn't go the other way... I was afraid I would make too many turns to remember. Thankfully, the next exit we came to on whatever road we were on ended up being a regular road, so we could just turn left and turn back the opposite direction on the divided highway, and then drive the 6 miles back to 77 and get on NORTH to Cleveland.
So, we had a minor driving adventure, the rest of the trip was fine. After I gave him to his mom, I moved the little cooler with iced tea and water up to the front seat and seatbelted it in place so I could reach the contents and it would not fall down and make a mess.
I am now home safe with no problems.
I texted Jon and he seems to still be on the road. His mom mentioned lots of construction. I already miss having him here with me. But, I know he will enjoy the time with his family.

I hope you are having a nice Holiday. Is Dave finally off of work for a day?
I found out at my new job that we will on occasion have work from home days if bad weather is expected or if something is planned in advance for a particular reason, but in general I won't get the opportunity to work from home
