Chandoo:  “It’s 46 miles to Uniontown, we’ve got a full tank of gas, half a stack of Excel books, it’s overcast, and we’re wearing sunglasses.”

Rob:  “Hit it.”

Hitting the Road.  Holding a Mini-Summit.

Chandoo and I are jumping in the car this afternoon for a short journey down I-77 to a place MrExcel calls home.  Well, at least, that’s where Bill lives and works today.  He is, sadly, moving to Florida this summer.  (The second friend of mine to leave Ohio for Florida since I moved here – traitors! Smile)

This is going to be fun, having the three of us in one place like this.  But I’m a little bummed that we couldn’t get a good picture of us sitting IN the car.  There was too much glare on the windshield.

Otherwise, we were prepared to re-enact this classic scene:

Sometimes, that’s true.  But they just as often turn out more like the barbecue scene from Mystery Men:

I’m interested to see which way today goes Smile
