Today was another very warm, but pleasant drive. We left Indianapolis where the Inn started breakfast at 4 am so the diehard Indy fans could get to the raceway for 6:30 opening time. You would never catch me at a golf course that early, no way. We left Indy and headed to Cincinnati to find the WKRP Radio tower. Really folks, the program ended in 1982, but the thought still crossed my mind, how about yours.

We were visited during Christmas time by a former student of mine, but really more of a neighbor on the Durham Bridge Road. We felt so bad when she stopped in to say hi, and we were in town for about an hour and missed her. We planned this whole trip all around the US just to see Jane. After living in Cincinnati for a while she hasn't found the tower yet either. We had a very pleasant visit and met her husband Dave although when I first met him before, he wasn't the husband. We shared memories of the neighborhood and families years ago. After our visit, we continued in the heat to Columbus, Ohio. Alice and I want to pass on congratulations to my children (grownups) for their awesome performance in the Sugarloaf 15K. A personal best by Becky and Trevor and to the winner of the flowers, Caroline. Also running was my brother Bob who ran the Marathon distance in just under 3 1/2 hours. If the time holds up he will have qualified for the Boston Marathon...if he chooses. He certainly has my support. I'll drive him down if he wants a couple of hours more sleep.
