Here I go again.

It's almost a 4 hour drive to South Bend, IN and I simply cannot drive that distance without caffeine. Not safely, anyway. Thus, I had one Diet Coke on the way up and two on the way back (it was dark and I was dehydrated and foolishly got a second DC when I stopped for gasoline before realizing I'd be better off with the water I'd brought with me).

I tied for third out of 8. Not great but not terrible and it was good practice on a Sunday.

If I'd stayed home, I would have been cutting grass, working on the front of the house, vacuuming, etc. and I'd much rather drive 8 hours total and fence.

Another incentive was that I knew we would have a good director.
