A One-Day Pause in Japan Stories
I drove Eli 22.1 to the Detroit airport this morning for him to go back to the UK for graduate school.We left at 4:15 this morning, so there wasn't much talking. He slept for a while on the way down. It would have been easier to just leave from the GR airport, which is only 20 minutes from home, but it was going to be $600 more (seriously, airlines, WTF is wrong with you?), so we drove 2+ hours instead. It was 3+ hours on the way back, but that's a different story.
Because he's been to England for a year before, this didn't seem like a hugely momentous moment, even though it's the start of the next chapter in his life. We were just trying to make sure he had everything he needed.
On the way back, I stopped to get gas at a convenience store and saw this in the window:
That seems super-solid and not concerning in the least.
I also saw a sign for "HENRY VIII TOPLESS GO-GO." It's a "lounge." Kudos for the awkward historical reference.
