We spent the weekend up in Michigan, Sasha working and me visiting my folks. I had the bright idea to simply fly to Chicago and drive over to Michigan, so as not to suffer through another O'Hare scheduling failure. I think in future I shall simply fly to Kalamazoo - the combined 'drive (to Little Rock) - fly (to Chicago)- drive (to Michigan)' was a little too much like an endurance contest. My favourite part was on the return trip, when it took me as long to drive across Chicago as it had to drive the entire route from Kalamazoo to Chicago.
