if i don't die, or worse, i'm going to need a nap
Most people, when invited to a Saturday evening wedding in New York City, might make a weekend out of it. Not me. Now to be fair, until yesterday I was supposed to spend tomorrow riding roller coasters, but somebody (let's call him, oh I dunno.... D. San. No, wait - Daby S.) fell down playing his hippie frisbee game a week ago and is still bitching and moaning about it like a little baby. My original itinerary was to leave this morning around eight, and drive back home tonight after the reception - getting here around three or four in the morning. I could get a couple hours of sleep, and nap in the car on the way down to Williamsburg. It was to be a couple of long-ass days, for sure, but not completely unreasonable. And ever since I talked myself into the ridiculous notion of making the wedding a day trip, it's been difficult to contemplate alternate courses of action. Even considering my now-cancelled Sunday plans, I went to sleep yesterday thinking that I'd be back in my own bed the following night.
Now I don't know what to do. I'm up way too early. By which I mean: I'm up at the same time I usually wake up. My plan hinged on sleeping in until about seven. Under other circumstances, those two and a half hours might not matter. But staring down a potential twenty hour day, those two and a half hours could be the difference between making it home safely or ending up in a ditch along the New Jersey Turnpike. I suppose, should things go sideways, there is a hotel room available to me, but that brings up a whole nother mess of issues. Like, what the hell would I do tomorrow? Does anybody know if there's anything to do in Manhattan?

Cappy, if you're reading, sorry I had to take off so early. You know how it is - places to be and things to do. I'll call you.
