I finally caught a train back down the country. It took an hour longer than scheduled, but I think the universe had finally blown itself out as far as major inconveniences go. It had been a challenging trip, shall we say. Not exactly the restful long weekend in a quiet place that I had hoped for. What's that you say? If you want to give God a laugh, tell him your plans? I can see him now, slapping his thigh, with tears rolling down his cheeks as his holds his aching ribs and tries to catch his breath between guffaws.
