[MR] Unevent?--A Different strategy

[Kerri Martinsen]

ohhh... I like that idea...  I would make both 'U's more often if I can kill two birds with 1 stone.

I hate driving 8 hrs for university (and I have done it before), but for me, it is a "child" issue.  8 hrs in said car with said child for a 1 day event is a definite "no".  Don't know who it is harder on.  Me or her.
