It’s funny how one small change of plans could set of so many other things. This week, thanks to the snow in Las Vegas, we have decide to change our plans and skip our trip to California. Sure, this is a bummer, but not as big of a bummer as driving over the El Cajon Pass in the snow… with no snow tires or chains…
Once we made up our minds to skip the trip, a list of things to do started piling up:
- Call family in SoCal and explain why we aren’t coming out 25 times.
- Cancel reservations for the dog with the kennel
- Send niece/nephew Christmas gifts
- Cancel lunch plans with friends in SoCal
- Cancel hockey tickets for Sunday’s Ontario Reign game
Since we are going to be in town all weekend, that also brings up some opportunities.
- Friday night happy hour with friends
- Saturday night football game with friend
- Morning poker tournament at casino
- Get some additional planning done for WordCamp
On top of all this is the fact that we both really want to go to California to see family and friends. And, the weather did clear up nicely making our decision to skip the trip seem hasty. I just have no interest in driving in the snow. My luck, we’ll make it to California fine and then get stuck trying to get back home. No thanks. We’ll just plan to visit after the new year.
