Worked the game. Started at 7:40 as the JV game went OT. Visiting team won 61-29. Total of 18 fouls, no bonus either half. In the car by 9. Now 90 miles from home having a cheeseburger. It will be midnight before I get home.

Yeah, we do this for the money.
What time was scheduled tipoff? If you left at 4:15, picked up partner and then drove 115 miles It sounds like you were cutting it close? Working the Chicago area for usually scheduled week day 7:00 o'clock starts with uncertain weather conditions, I need to leave around 4ish myself, and that's for 35-40 miles distances on occasion.

Being in rural areas you probably have a better sense of travel time. Chicago, you just never know what to expect. Had a date a few weeks ago 8 miles from home, took me almost 45 minutes.
