That time your Dad had to do some driving on icy I-80. Well, I don't know, maybe it was me driving, that was a long time ago.uncle brucehttp://www.cs.cmu.edu/~bwlnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12772262.post-63212471178588863092013-05-25T21:39:21.106-07:002013-05-25T21:39:21.106-07:00I remember driving you crazy singing camp songs on...I remember driving you crazy singing camp songs on a long trip with you, so that must be it. It was summer, and I had just returned from camp, so you got it extra bad. I also remember another trip, when I was much younger, and it was super icy out and we watched someone crash and someone else go in the ditch on the other side of the highway as we were driving by. You were driving but I think my dad was also with us for that one.<br /><br />I hope my dad is truly on 10 hrs and Iowa City is truly only 5 hrs as it says, neither of those trips need to be any longer!J-Funkhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02348757702939322368noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12772262.post-79199985806938183672013-05-25T19:45:29.155-07:002013-05-25T19:45:29.155-07:00We picked you up in I-city, and drove in a big Lin...We picked you up in I-city, and drove in a big Lincoln Town Car to Pittsburg -- I think we had to stay at a motel one night. I remember going roller skating, and visiting some town in Arkansas, and seeing baby J, your brother. You sang camp songs to us on the way down. I don't remember how you got home -- I think we flew home or something.<br /><br />That 10 hr time is a theoretical construct -- the computer says it's only 9 hr from Pittsburgh to Carbondale, but it always used to take us 13. So after a while we quit trying to do it without an overnight motel stay near Cincinnati.uncle brucehttp://www.cs.cmu.edu/~bwlnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12772262.post-559910114299964352013-05-23T15:07:50.159-07:002013-05-23T15:07:50.159-07:00Thanks everyone!!

Alternatively, he may be able to work remotely at his current job but that's still up in the air.<br /><br />Bruce, I don't remember going to Kansas with you in 1989, but I do remember going to Kansas on numerous occasions during the time my dad lived there - mostly good trips. We are hoping to buy a great big fancy house which will be perfect to host you if you visit. My dad is only a 10 hr drive a way (only) so perhaps we could organize a reunion in KS?J-Funkhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02348757702939322368noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12772262.post-44972144515663790292013-05-23T08:13:08.718-07:002013-05-23T08:13:08.718-07:00Congratulations!

I hope that some day before too long we can make it out there!uncle brucehttp://www.cs.cmu.edu/~bwlnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12772262.post-26726039031788187682013-05-22T08:24:12.247-07:002013-05-22T08:24:12.247-07:00Congratulations on your new job!!
