AND STUFF
So there we were ready for our first trip to Washington D. C. and to see Bill. Plane tickets? Check. Trolley tour of Capital area? Check. Museums? Check. Phone rings, and its Bill’s friend telling us the power is off for millions of people including Bill. It is thought we should cancel. We decide to hold, maybe things will get better.
Later in the day we were able to get through to Bill on the phone. He advised us that it could be days until the power is back on. We decide to stay loose until later in the day. Early evening we call Bill and he advises there is still no power we all reluctantly agree that best thing to do is to bank the tickets for later use. I tell Bill I bet the power comes on the minute I cancel the plane tickets.
I was wrong. The power came on about 4 hours after I cancelled the plane tickets.
Next day we tried purchase new tickets and they were 300% more than our original tickets. So, we decide to do a Staycation.
We live near the beach, the weather was perfect,so we spent a few days loving life at the beach. Then we did some hiking beyond Malibu. Super cool hike with great views of house ruins.
And maybe even a spaceship disguised as a hill house.
We missed seeing Bill and the sights of DC but you know what, it was kinda cool slowing down and taking time to see things in the old hood.
Good Eating and Table Talk,
Roger
