This Never Happens When You Are "The Responsible Girl"

Ellen is headed to the beach for a couple of days with Monkey Boy and another kid. She offered to take Ada, which would be great except that Ada has a dental appointment on Friday morning. And then I thought: why don't I meet them there late Wednesday, work from the beach on Thursday and drive Ada home that night? Because, why not?

Why not: it is a shlep for one night, I have a ton of work to do and deadlines looming and and and. But wait, there is wi-fi at the beach house! Chris agreed that it was a good idea and that he'd be fine soloing with Ian and Mira. Well, that's settled then.
