Descending into the depths

Today, we took off for a Labor Day weekend in Portland (Oregon now, not Maine), but first we had to make it through the seventh layer of hell, aka Tacoma. Sweet baby Jesus, traffic wasn't that bad in Boston. And who the hell wants to live in Tacoma? Bygones. The point was, we got so damn bored in the car that we tried to play the state capitals game. And man, we are stupid. I mean, Max and Sam kind of have an excuse because they're just kids, but J.R. and I are dumb. I think it's time to go back to school. Or at least to revisit the atlas.
