Dinner With Daniel

[billroper]

We got on the road about 4 PM. I reserved a room in Avoca, Iowa, which was pretty clearly as far as we were going to feel like driving today. Then I realized that among the various mathoms we were carrying was a DVD that tarkrai has solicited for filker0 to use in setting up some stuff on the Pegasus website. "Hey," I said, "Isn't he in Iowa?"

So I called tarkrai, got filker0's cellphone number and a couple of hours later, we were having dinner with him just outside of Iowa City. The mathom was passed, we had a brief cellphone chat with spiritdance, then bid our friend a fond farewell and got back on the road.

We pulled in here just before 12:30 AM which was just fine, all things considered. And the motel has wireless Internet access and an indoor pool, along with a noon checkout. As you can see, we've investigated the first; the second will follow in the morning.

Edited: because I was apparently too tired to tell time when I wrote this originally...

That would've been a long drive indeed

"We pulled in here just before 12:30 PM which was just fine"

Both logic and the timestamp on your message indicate that you pulled in just before 12:30 AM, not PM.

Safe journey!

Oops. Well, I was a bit tired...

Thank you for taking the time out of your trip to sup with me. It was great seeing you both! My apologies to your lovely wife for so much shop-talk during dinner.

I wish you a continued safe journey and a somewhat alliterative wonderful worldcon!
