Adventuring!

Next week Mark and Jack have an appointment with the dentist. (This practice very wisely schedules siblings back to back whenever possible.) I haven't been there before, nor has Dav, and in any event I'll be making this trip solo.
So, a'google-mapping I go.
Google's preferred route uses Powers Blvd for nearly its entire length. This is admittedly the most direct and probably the fastest route. Unfortunately Powers has very heavy traffic, and the posted limit is 55 mph. My inner Count Rugen and I dislike that.^_^;
I altered the route to go via Airport Road to Academy Blvd, and points northwestward. Not quite as direct, but I'd rather drive Academy than Powers. It'll be good practice for solo trips into new parts of town, too.
Definitely taking my cell phone, just in case. On the way back, we may hit Culver's.
Also next week, we're having Jack's hearing tested. Dav will be accompanying me on that one, mostly to supervise Mark. We're not too worried, but he's not talking at all yet, and it's a good starting point on figuring out why.
