Actually closer to an hour. Problem is, neither of us needs to travel through the other's area for anything. I was out there buying a car almost 4 years ago, and I bought my clarinet 3 years ago.
Maybe we'll run into each other at Tupelo Music Hall. Or Lee Speedway. Or the Deerfield Fair.
I didn't have to go to Toledo. Find a spot that is interesting 1/2 way between you and arrange to meet there for a beer on a Saturday afternoon.
Damn right!
Show a little initiative Scotch.
It's not like it's Koop asking to meet up with you.
Sadchild doesn't drink beer. I was in Nottingham NH for a wedding reception not long ago. That's about halfway. Maybe I should've messaged him on Words With Friends, and told him to come crash the wedding.
Well, have a coke and a smile then. The drink is not important. For the record, I don't drink beer either.
@scotchandcigar How close are you to the Tuckaway in Raymond? It's 34 minutes from my house (according to Google). Best steak I've ever eaten!

Google says it's 40 minutes from me, so fairly close to halfway. Yeah, I went there a few times right after they opened, but it's such a popular spot now, we haven't been there in a while (plus it's 40 minutes away). Maybe on a weeknight it's not so bad.@scotchandcigar How close are you to the Tuckaway in Raymond? It's 34 minutes from my house (according to Google). Best steak I've ever eaten!

We should find a day/time when both of us are available.
Conversation in Colorado: "How far is it from Denver to Colorado Springs?" "Seventy miles."
Conversation in Texas: "How far is it from Houston to Austin?" "One hundred sixty-three miles."
Conversation in California: "How far is it from Los Angeles to Anaheim?" "Forty minutes."
I thought Californians were the only people who express distance in terms of minutes instead of miles – but IRBS, scotch and sadchild do it too. And how long it takes someone to get from one place to another depends upon how fast he's traveling. Doy!

This is true in the Boston and metro NYC areas as well. From NJ, going to one of the boroughs of NYC is always expressed with consideration for the time it takes for the bridges, tunnels, roads, and tolls (and traffic) you have to go through to get there.
I was also in that category, until my employer told us that all employees within 50 miles of a facility have to return on-site. That's when I found that I am 52 miles from one facility, and 52.6 miles from another.
Google Maps tells me I’m 48.5 miles away from office. If I worked for your employer I would have had to alter my address lol.
Speaking of which, all of New England just went through a highway exit renaming cluster fuck, wherein they replaced that complicated sequential number system (1, 2, 3, etc.) with a much clearer mile-marker system (1, 4, 7, 12, etc.). It's so much better now.
It's all explained in this classic video, one of my favorite internet videos of all time
My favorite line: "You don't make sense. I make sense." Can't tell you how many times I've had a female say (basically) this line when they're 100% wrong. #hipam
That woman provides further proof – as if we needed any – of the truth of this observation by Chris Rock: "Don't argue. You can not win. You can not beat a woman in an argument. It's impossible. You will not win because, men, we are handicapped when it comes to arguing 'cause we have a need to make sense."
New York state still uses sequential exit numbers like 56, 57 and 57A. About the only state that still does. PA switched about 20 years ago.
The exit numbers on the Golden State Freeway in California correspond to the distance in miles from the Mexican border.
