Flyover
Trying not to screw things up worse
Aside from a section roughly between Cleveland and Akron that I've always loved, Ohio gets more scenic (but unfortunately, with fewer opportunities for work) as you go south and east.It is gorgeous.
I've known several people who lived in Athens and commuted to Columbus, which I find insane. Then again, since leaving CA I've been pretty averse to any commute longer than 10 minutes (and in the last few years, any commute longer than walking to my basement).
One of my best friends is in town visiting from the other side of the planet. Haven't seen him in about 7 or 8 years. He's here with his wife, whom I've never met. We'll all have lunch today and then spend the day together so he can meet my kids. You wouldn't be able to tell by looking at me but I'm very excited.
