The uptime command on my work laptop reveals this:

11:16 up 39 days, 10:43, 4 users, load averages: 0.45 0.31 0.34

I need a break! I’m shutting down the laptop for the drive to Chicago. We’ll be spending some time with Chanel’s family and then picking my parents up from O’Hare airport on their way back in from Portugal. I’ll be doing a lot of driving in the next four days.

It’ll be good to get out and see some country besides the flat lands of Iowa.
