I drive to Columbus to see friends all the time. The drive isn't the problem, it's my lack of job and income that is the issue.

What can I say? I suck.
If you guys start planning something please don't do it the weekend of December 14th or January 10th. I am in another wedding out in Las Vegas on the 14th and their wedding is on Dec. 14th and their reception is going to be on Jan. 10th so I won't be around.
