Greg Finally Leaves Midwest

During our trip yesterday, Greg (my father in law) periodically complained that we had traveled hundreds of miles but the scenery hadn't changed and he still felt like we were in MN. Part of that may come from not stopping between Champaign, IL and Lancaster, OH.
Athens vets know where this is going...
How many times has a great SE Ohio story started "Right around Nelsonville..."
Well, right around Nelsonville, Greg's car started having an allergic reaction to the hills and humidity. The car fogged up and we could not see much the final 15 miles. We opened the windows, tried regular AC, vent air, nothing.
Then, today he was watching the news and I had to define a boil order for him. Must be nice to live well into your 6th decade and not know what a boil order is. That said, I really missed Athens and will be sorry to leave after just two days. I would have liked to stayed at home a bit longer, but the Wild Man calls... Anders is doing quite well from what I hear. He has nearly doubled his feedings today. Anytime I start feeling sorry for myself, I think of all the tubes and wires he's hooked up to and I snap out of my funk right away.
