I'm not in Franconia today.

candle_light and I were planning to head up for the Big Lap rally. We'd have had to be there by 8 and it's a 2.5 hours drive, so I reserved a hotel room for last night. And since I thought it would be silly to make such a long drive in two cars, I planned to meet up with her at a party in Wilmington in the evening. miss_chance would be stopping by Wilmington and could retrieve the car, so I could drive there and she could drive home.
candle_light and family have an outing in southern NH today, and she was planning to go directly there. No problem; there's plenty of public transport from various points along the way, so I spent a bit of time compiling different ways to get back into town depending on the exact timing of our return from the far northern reaches. The most likely answer was a $15 bus ride from Concord, NH, as that added the least amount of driving to the weekend. But the fact that I was contemplating ways to cut five minutes of driving out of the weekend made me think that maybe driving to Franconia for a road rally was just too much driving at the expense of all the other things I'd also like to be doing this weekend.
Meanwhile there was ongoing doubt over whethercandle_light and I wanted to drive up the night before or just go up in the morning from her place, but that's just background babble for this story.
Then around 10 got a call frommiss_chance. From Vermont. She wasn't going to be stopping in Wilmington, and could I get the car back to Somerville so she could drive it to work in the morning? By the time I could get back to the party, candle_light would be at her house packing up for the drive north. Or I could get the car to someplace else that miss_chance could find, or find someone else to drive it back, or... and at this point I realized that the logistical knot had reached Gordian proportions and did the appropriate thing.
So today, I get to put my bike back together, which I've been wanting to do for a long time. I can't wait.
