crazy road trips

I tend to be pretty impulsive.  On Tuesday night, I decided to go with Jacob to Birmingham on Wednesday to see Wilco in concert.  We both had to work on Thursday, but it seemed worth it.  The concert was scheduled to start at 8 PM so i figured we'd get back late, but I was not prepared for what actually happened.  After we'd driven through Atlanta, the question dawns on me, "is Birmingham in a different time zone"?  So I pose the question and the results show that Birmingham is indeed in Central Time Zone, which of course means that the show starts at nine!  Whatever, we go and it was an amazing trip, dinner and show.  What wasn't amazing was leaving the venue at 12:30 EST and arriving in Jasper at 4:15 EST to wake at 7:30 for a wonderful day of work... all times given are AM, of course.  I felt nauseated most of the day.  Finally at about 2 PM my body started to acclimate to the conditions and for that I was very thankful.  That was definitely a time when I will look back and be thankful for the experience, but at the time it was dreaded!  But what else would we have done on a Wednesday night?  Watched a movie, made dinner and gone to bed at a decent hour?  Lame!  j/k.
