On the subject of cross country records, I have a new personal best today,
for shortest cross country flight. I landed out a grand total of 4.7 miles
from the airport today. Statute miles. The sky sure looked beautiful but
the lift was deceptively hard to work. I found a wonderful field, larger
and in many places smoother than the home airport, which turned out to be
inside a locked water treatment facility. Much governmental hilarity
ensued, finally resulting in a successful retrieve.

From reading previous discussions on the subject I know that I have a long
way to go before I can rival some of the records posted here, but I feel
that with this flight I'm off to a good start.
