An invitation

March 15, 2016 Tuesday

5:42AM Phil
Good morning! Off to the races. Have a terrific day!
7:35AM Sassy
Good morning kid! stay high and dry.

7:44AM Sassy
Here’s another link with 8 “this or that” meme.  
My favorite is the “Parrot or guacamole?”


11:12AM Phil
This weather sucks!  I have evening time and have some extra time in Boston Friday before flying out so perhaps some chowda or lobsta if we can make it work. Our schedule pretty much sucks
11:57AM Sassy
I keep thinking… At least it’s not snow!  

Friday sounds fantastic!. Please give me an estimated time when you can so I can plan with Hubby to get the car etc.  I can take off work or meet you after… so excited to see you!  I know a spot with 50 cent oysters.  : ) 
Or any evening… whatever works for you.  I could pop up and meet you for dinner.
12:02PM Phil
I have zero transportation so outside of cab range I’m stuck.  Have an 8 o’clock flight but we will leave here around 2 so leaves a couple hours at least. What ever works best
12:15PM Sassy
I can pick you up, whatever works.
Are you in a hotel or behind the gate?
Or I could get you at Logan?
12:32PM Phil
We stay on the base. We will likely try to find someplace to park downtown before we head to the airport. Don’t know if there is food closer to the airport or not. I have yet to have a Lobster. Had fried stuff last night, did not like it. They do lobster night at the club on base Thursday so we are all planning to do that.
12:45PM Sassy
So not tonight or tomorrow down there?  If Friday, around 3ish or later?  You could ping when you leave the base and get to Boston and ditch them?  Sorry for all the questions…just trying to figure out how to make it easiest for you.  
4:23PM Phil
I have no plans for tomorrow but am trying to make this easy. It’s a hoof up here and back. Wed is the only evening I have available and we generally knock off about sixish so up to you. We can grab a bite in Boston Friday or maybe something tomorrow but that involves a lot of driving for you
4:45PM Sassy
Thanks kid.  Here’s my theory.  It’s not that far, and driving down tomorrow would get us more time?  I can get a reservation for 6:30 or 7 pm, have nice lobster.  and if you like, I’ll get a room at that Holiday Inn for dessert.  Does that sound good?  Tell me where to pick you up?  or get yourself to the hotel?

8:28PM Phil
Finally done : (

I am just pooped and I have another couple hours of reading to do. We are gonna be just as late tomorrow. I would just fall asleep in my lobster tonight, my brain hurts. 
8:32PM Sassy
Awww…so sorry to hear that.

8:45PM Phil
Sometimes it’s easy, sometimes it’s hard, way too much to do here but no reason we can’t grab a bite and spend some time Friday!  After 14 hours I just don’t have much left. Guess I’m getting old.
Our boss is on a toot being a pain in everyone’s ass
8:50PM Sassy
Seems like as a civilian, you could be 8 hrs and out
No chance you can beg off to see an old friend you haven’t seen in 4.5 years?
9:02 PM Sassy
Good thing you don’t need the Metro tomorrow

9:15PM Phil
Seems that way but we routinely work 12 hour days and on weekends.  All ex military guys who don’t know anything different. I lead the team so I can’t bag on them. We get done when we get done
No shit. Everyone is taking the day off

9:17PM Sassy
Friday it is then.  
Have a good evening!  Hope you can sleep soon.

9:20PM Sassy

We have an Iditarod winner!  Dallas does it again! With his Dad coming in second again. Whee!
