A First
Growing up, my brother used to joke about his night guy and his day guy. He always ended up staying up too late and the next day he'd lament about his night guy screwing over his day guy. His night guy was a really fun guy, but sometimes irresponsible. His day guy was often quite tired and angry at the night guy.
Today our city guy screwed our mountain guy. We are supposed to be half way to the barn right now. As is our usual plan, when the boys finished school, we would all meet up, grab the car and head out. The first nail in our mountain coffin was a meeting rescheduled for me at 4:30. We still kidded ourselves that we'd head out around 5pm. Then I had still had tons of work to do. Joe was going to arrive home around 4pm and at 5:30, he still hadn't come home. We hadn't gathered anything, and knew traffic was escalating. At 6pm, we were collectively exhausted and bailed out. This is a Williams first. A Sad One.

So happy to come across your blog! Curiously, we live in NYC and near Saranac Lake also. (Although we have a ton of renovating to do before we can use the house.) We're right by Donnelly's. Hope you eventually got out of the city okay! Again, so happy to come across your blog.
Hey City Mouse! Great to hear you are in the neighborhood. Feel free to shoot me an email when you guys are up in the area. We are getting quite a network together of escapees. :-) Bridget
