For the last year and a half, 90% of my commutes home have been by way of C-470 to 285 to 85 to Belleview to the Village to pick up Katherine — from pre-school, from summer school, whatever.<\/p>\n

Not quite Empty Nest Syndrome <\/em>— but, maybe, Empty Back Seat Syndrome.<\/em><\/p>\n I’ll have to spend some extra time with Katherine to make up for it. \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" For the last year and a half, 90% of my commutes home have been by way of C-470 to 285 to 85 to Belleview to the Village to pick up…<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_seopress_titles_title":"","_seopress_titles_desc":"","_seopress_robots_index":"","_seopress_robots_follow":"","_seopress_robots_imageindex":"","_seopress_robots_snippet":"","_seopress_robots_primary_cat":"","_seopress_robots_breadcrumbs":"","_seopress_robots_freeze_modified_date":"","_seopress_robots_custom_modified_date":"","_seopress_robots_canonical":"","_seopress_social_fb_title":"","_seopress_social_fb_desc":"","_seopress_social_fb_img":"","_seopress_social_fb_img_attachment_id":0,"_seopress_social_fb_img_width":0,"_seopress_social_fb_img_height":0,"_seopress_social_twitter_title":"","_seopress_social_twitter_desc":"","_seopress_social_twitter_img":"","_seopress_social_twitter_img_attachment_id":0,"_seopress_social_twitter_img_width":0,"_seopress_social_twitter_img_height":0,"_seopress_redirections_value":"","_seopress_redirections_enabled":"","_seopress_redirections_enabled_regex":"","_seopress_redirections_logged_status":"","_seopress_redirections_param":"","_seopress_redirections_type":0,"_seopress_analysis_target_kw":"","_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","jetpack_publicize_message":"","jetpack_publicize_feature_enabled":true,"jetpack_social_post_already_shared":false,"jetpack_social_options":{"image_generator_settings":{"template":"highway","default_image_id":0,"font":"","enabled":false},"version":2}},"categories":[46],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-7879","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-school-daze"],"jetpack_publicize_connections":[],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"jetpack-related-posts":[{"id":4775,"url":"https:\/\/hill-kleerup.org\/blog\/2004\/01\/08\/local_news.html","url_meta":{"origin":7879,"position":0},"title":"Local news","author":"***Dave","date":"Thu 8-Jan-04 6:50am","format":false,"excerpt":"So whazzup with the construction at I-70\/C-470?
