Title: Well, we're off
Author: Roger Sutro ... rsutro@cox.net
  Getting ready for a summer vacation - everyone packing, Ruth and Louis organizing and making sure food, clothes, kids, coolers, and cats were all carefully packed.

This departure seemed to take hours, and I don't remember liking this part very much, in fact, it was frustrating to find everything, get that car packed right, organize everyone, and make sure all angles were covered.
Then finally we'd start the car and settle into our seats and drive on Webster street towards Rt. 128 and the Mass. Pike, and as it became clear that once again we'd cleared all hurdles and commenced our travel, Louis would conclude:
"Well, we're off"

And Ruth would sigh or joke, and suddenly it was a good time again, and we were going on an adventure together.
