Today's Question(s):
If you have family that lives far away, how far is the farthest you've had to travel to see them?
When I lived in New York City, I had to fly 3000 miles to see my family.

How about friends that live far away?
I have a friend who lives 833 miles away in Washington State, one who is 1,800 miles away in Texas and another who is 2,900 miles away in New Jersey. I used to have a very dear online friend 5,260 miles away in South Wales, but he died unexpectedly last month and I am very sad that I will never get to meet him in person.

Bonus Question:
Occasionally I say "grab your favorite go-juice." So, what is your go-juice of choice while answering questions?
Generally I'm answering late at night, so I would only drink water, if anything.

My older daughter was complaining about how hard it is to get her seven year old daughter going in the morning, because all she wants to do is sit in bed and read. Made me laugh. Karma.

Have a good day everyone! Thanks, same to you, PC!
