For you number-crunchers out there:

• Miles driven: 1,586.6.
• States: 5 (Alabama, Mississippi, Tennessee, Arkansas, Oklahoma).
• Wrong turns taken: 2 (both were in Memphis transitioning onto and off of I-55).
• Cities visited that fellow MBAs now live in: 3 (Birmingham, Memphis, and Conway, Arkansas).
• Stadiums visited: 2 (Oklahoma Memorial Stadium, the University of Oklahoma’s football stadium, and Bricktown Ballpark, the home of the Oklahoma Redhawks minor league baseball team).
• New things tried: 2. I drove a boat and tubed for the first time. I almost tried skiing, but we ran out of daylight.

More a little later.
