Preparing for trip to Dayton now...car is packed, maybe I forgot stuff, maybe I didn't. Got to gas it up and drive down to the Southern Command and stage for a morning departure.

Cats fed? Check.
Big bag of snacks and sugared water? Check.
Enough space in the car to bring back more than I'm leaving with? Check.
DVDs for the hotel room and a second laptop just to play them? Check overkill.
Hungry because I forgot to eat dinner during all the packing? Yep. Jimmy John's, here I come.

(Also - blogging from the Blackberry is pretty slick. Expect a report at every gas stop and roadhouse I encounter!)
