[stylist] A Journey of a thousand mile

[Jacobson, Shawn D]

Thanks to everyone who read and commented on my piece.

The total distance from our house to Des Moines was 1,065 miles.  Add in another 100 or so miles up to Fort Dodge, and the overall total getting there was almost 1,200 miles.

On a previous trip back to Iowa, Zebe drove quite a bit of it with my wife helping; she had a learner's permit at the time), so I wasn't too worried.  Zebe is 17 now and will turn 18 in August.

If I do revise this to a further purpose, I will put the mileage in as well as more description of me eating a sandwitch with a dog (Penny, our Beagle mix) trying to get at it and baying like a maniac.

Once again thanks.

Shawn

Shawn,

This was an enjoyable read, and I can't believe you guys drove straight 
through. A mention of the total mileage might prove interesting, at least to 
a numbers guy like me. You might also add a sentence or two about Zebe--how 
old she is, how much driving experience she has, and how you feel with her 
behind the wheel. Overall, an entertaining read.
