Our road trip to Illinois begins with Lisa playing Xbox in the car, or at least until my crappy inverter oveheated and shut down. You know your obsession with a game console has crossed a line when you take it with you in your car. Denied her Carcasonne crack, she was left with no choice but to map out various unremarkable stops along our route while I crawled behind two semis pacing the highway at 65 MPH for half an hour. Fortunately our hotel had internet and an hour of 1 vs 100 gave us the fix we so desperately needed.
