8:17
Woke up. 8:17.
Bus leaves. 8:30. Not packed. Not dressed. Destination 10 minutes away. Taxi impossible to find. Rest of day buses sold out to NYC. Wife in NYC already. Fearing texting wife in NYC. Confusion. Rent a car?
No way.
Let's try.
Outside with "packed bags" in 4 minutes. 8:21.
Found Taxi in 3 minutes. 8:24.
Arrived at 10th and H NW. Watched the bus pull away. 8:32.
Flashes of wife getting the text and my brother laughing.
But wait. Serendipity. Another bus company delayed an hour.
Flashes of a proud father.
8:33. Headed to NYC.
Bolt Bus: $22. Taxi: $10. Megabus: $21.
Oversleeping but making it from eyes opening to the bus stop in 16 flat?
Priceless.

Only you.
Unfortunately, NOT only Dave. Joel missed his bus to Philly last month too! A NOON bus. Oy!
(btw, your Dad must be SO proud!)
