Mike,
I am brainstorming about all kinds of things, including driving my car back down here next weekend.Check
www.airtran.com . If you're quick they have fares New Orleans-Chicago this weekend at $280 return including tax.
"... They ne'er cared for us
yet: suffer us to famish, and their store-houses
crammed with grain; make edicts for usury, to
support usurers; repeal daily any wholesome act
established against the rich, and provide more
piercing statutes daily, to chain up and restrain
the poor. If the wars eat us not up, they will; and
there's all the love they bear us."
-- Shakespeare: Coriolanus, Act 1, scene 1
