Good luck to those of you who are doing any long-distance traveling this weekend. I hope the trip is a safe one with few traffic jams and good weather. I'll be leaving New Jersey tomorrow and going up to Newburyport MA to drop off a friend, then south to Worcester, MA for a few days, then back home. If you see a silver Toyota Echo with NJ plates on the NY Thruway, Mass. Tpke, or I-495 in Mass., it might be me, so feel free to honk and wave.
