8. You go to tripquest and have the computer calculate directions and mileage from your house to Tulsa.

Your email Hanson-fan pal sends you copies of the whole roll of her "home" pics of her Hanson sighting last summer, including a picture of Zac's backpack sitting by itself on a van seat(!), and you set two of the pics of Taylor and Isaac up in your kitchen windowsill next to your own kids even tho' they are kinda out of focus...sigh...
