Then, of course, I got out my trusty map (okay, that's a lie...I looked at Google maps online) and would you believe it....the house is exactly halfway between Chicago & Detroit, less than 2 hours from South Bend, IN (helllooooooo, Notre Dame!) or Ann Arbor (hola, Univeristy of Michigan!), and just one hour from Lansing (bonjour, Michigan State!) or Grand Rapids (konichiwa....um...whatever-school-you-might-have!). And Kalamazoo is right over there, and Battle Creek is right over there....but we'd get to be in the country, on a dirt road. With dogs! And chickens! But with wireless high-speed internet access! And no mortgage.
Dude, hold the phone- I just decided to draw a circle around our house, the radius of which is the distance that Tommy will be driving tomorrow to get to Toronto. Do you know what is inside that circle?!?!? Everything. Okay, not everything, but lemme just say that it includes....wait, I'll show you!

Don't lie, you know you're impressed by my amazing graphic design skills.
So basically what you're telling me is that we could drive to any of these places for a weekend trip? What is that, like, 7 states or something? Pittsburgh? Cleveland? Louisville? Indianapolis? Milwaukee? Chicago? Detroit? St. Louis almost made it in there even! Man, America is cool.
It's just a day trip to London!
ReplyDeleteYou're right! Although a quick jaunt to Normal might be more necessary at this time...
ReplyDeleteI'm so impressed with your math skills. I suck at math. *lol* The radius drawing is an added bonus.
ReplyDeleteWell done! An A+ in math from me for SURE!!! Sounds like you are in the perfect spot and I am now jelous, we are too far north and everthing is like 787 hours away, ok so Minneapolis is ONLY like 3.5 hours but thats it!
ReplyDeleteI am a math WIZARD, aren't I? It's amazing, really...
ReplyDeleteAnd don't forget Cincinnati! I'm excited to have made it into the circle. We are actually taking our first vacation to Michigan in a couple of weeks. Can't wait to check out your state.
