This weekend I was in the old country (Binghamton, New York), visiting some friends and seeing some minor league hockey. (That’s pretty much the only things Binghamton has going for it.)

More details of said trip will come Friday. It’s more the total of many, many trips I’ve made over the years that has become noteworthy.

Tell most people you’ve driven your car 240,000 miles and they’ll say, “Wow, almost 250.”

Tell people you’ve driven the equivalent of to the moon?

Yeah, that gets ’em.
