Dmitry,

It didn't seem like constructive input was any longer desired so I threw in a dumb joke. My apologies for any offense. I guess I didn't realize I need to be careful what I say to you.

Just tired and a little cranky after a six hour drive. Don't take it personally. What I should really do is write a history of Interstate 55, if only it were interesting. Don't say Route 66, even though mentions of Route 66 are incessant in rest stops up and down I-55. Also mentions of Abraham Lincoln, needless to say. I-55 runs parallel to a long stretch of the old Route 66 and helped make it irrelevant other than as Americana.

Have a good week. My life really does seem to exist in weeks these days, rounded by commutes back and forth between Chicago and St. Louis. In a way it reminds me of distance running training. It's better not to pay attention to details all the time. You just try to find the zone.

Mike
