No, I'm not talking about 1311 A.D. (MCCCXI anno domini) -- nothing spectacular happened that year anyway.
Nor am I talking about the cartilage oligomeric matrix protein -- Gene ID #1311.
Instead, I am talking about miles -- as in mileage -- as in "What my trip odometer read after a 'brief' family outing to Central Washington for a mini-family reunion/90th birthday party."
We left Thursday afternoon for Spokaloo, Friday to Wenatchee, Saturday to Roslyn then back to Spokaloo, and Sunday I dropped the girls off at Camp on Flathead Lake then drove myself home.
I like driving and all . . . but that was just reedickoolus.
And the frightening thing is . . . we're going to make that same basic trip in two weeks when we drop The Kid off with her grandparents so that she may be delivered to the airport so that she may go live in Germany for a year.
Maybe in two weeks I'll take the following Monday off as well and just sleep.

A Few Words About Comments
Comments are always welcome here, but there are a few things you should know:
1) If you comment, leave a name. If you can't figure out how to log in or register or whatever the system is making you do (which, believe me, I fully understand how frustrating that can be) and you must comment anonymously . . . leave a name in the comment section. Purely anonymous comments will be deleted.
2) Comments I deem to be offensive, irrelevant, or generally trollish will be deleted. I'm mainly talking to the Akurians here. Don't make me get out my flag!
3) If you would like to receive e-mail notification of other comments so you can more easily follow a conversation (yeah, like I ever have those on this blog), you must register with Blogger. Sorry . . . I didn't have anything to do with that one.
Enjoy the game.

I did read where the 15th Ecumenical Council was convened in 1311 in Vienna where the Knights Templar lost their Papal Support. Seems they were convicted of being naughty. At any rate... I do not envy your 1311 miles as I have discovered that after 1007 miles the buttocks does seem to conform to the car seat causing a certain amount of pain in said buttocks. May your buttocks not receive piles as your car has received miles and may the bugs on your windshield be ever so easy to cleanse.
