Driving to codemash
January 9, 2008
again this year. Leaving this afternoon. It’s about a 9 hour drive, and I think I miscalculated a bit this year. I was comparing flying to driving. I’d initially estimated fuel cost at around $100. I think it’s going to be more like $190 or so. Flying would have been $240, but then there’s a car rental and some extra fuel for a few days, so it would’ve been more like $350 probably, but it’s not as much of a slam dunk decision as I thought it would be at first. Oh well. Depends on what car I take tho too. I want to take my Sebring, which gets ~30mpg. My wife wants me to take her PT Cruiser, which only gets around 25mpg, ($190 estimate based on PT). So I can save 20% on fuel by taking the Sebring, but that means convincing my wife - not an easy task all the time.
Side note: she’s sick as well (got my cold last week) but WILL NOT go to the doctor’s office. How do you force a spouse to do something for their own good???

Tell her there’s no more games in bed until the doctor has checked her over. Be sure to emphasise which is a sexual allusion - and which isn’t.

Hey,
If you get in at a reasonable hour ping me when you get to the hotel. We’ll get a late snack.
