BIG TIME BUMMER!
The Spousal Unit and I had just parked in the Riverside Train Station and being Presidents Day - no traffic - we had an extra 30 min to kill before the train left when the phone rang. I almost did not answer it as I did not recognize the number. It was the Doctors Office calling to cancel the appointment; The Vascular Surgeon has the flu so they wanted to reschedule the appointment. Now I have to figure out how to apply for a refund on our tickets which I purchased online just before leaving home. The Metro tickets are only good for the day purchased and have to be purchased the same day as planning to travel - STRANGE? The tickets I now have will expire at 3 AM tomorrow morning!
Well, The missus was hungry, so while rummaging for my "TAP cards" (like a credit card for passage on the Subway) which I never did find, I did came across 2 Ihop $25 gift cards that I did not remember. We managed to find an Ihop about 2 miles from the train station at which we had a delightful breakfast.
WILLIE SWMBO did not find a compliant anywhere, except to critique my driving - once getting out of town when I ran a STOP sign at full speed which was not there two weeks ago (even had a flashing light), and once when I almost turned up the "off ramp" of the 91 Expressway looking for the train station! TTL there was almost NO TRAFFIC either time!
Ken D&J - Good to hear that your trip was uneventful. Sorry to hear of the reason. He really knew a lot of people for sure!
ken in MD - Glad to hear that you have beat-en off the gremlins. I will have the ambulance with the White Coat Guys stand down - they need a rest after their bout with Justin!
CHET - Keep your darn snow at home! They are predicting high winds around here with sub freezing temps tonight and a snow level down to 1500 feet! At the moment we have clear blue sky as far as I can see.
"Right Turn, Clyde!"
