Back in Pittsburgh after a quick trip to Danville, Kentucky. I "volunteered" to go with my mother and share the driving because my dad couldn't go for the sake of dam safety. Down Saturday, Babe the Sheep-Pig the Book the Movie the Play (adorable) on Saturday night, death defying, black of night and raining driving after the show, plus, as a bonus, a mainly sleepless night at a sketchy Comfort Inn (you need some Oxycontin? Talk to the dude in the lawn chair. He'll send you up to room 211. The door's open. Knock three times. Don't turn on the light), rest of the way home Sunday morning. 830 miles there and back.

Next weekend: Washington, DC.
