Dilemna of the moment. My dad called earlier and asked if I'd like to fly to Toledo, and then take a road trip with him down to Florida so he could close the sale of a house he's buying. My stepmom would use her stash of air miles to fly me back and forth.

I declined, as Claire is directing a staged reading of a play next Saturday - her directorial debut - and also acting in another staged reading later that afternoon. And we'd planned on driving up to Sonoma the following weekend to visit her grandpa and dad.

When Claire got home from rehearsal, I told her about the whole deal, and she pretty much told me I should go on the trip - that we could go up to Sonoma a week later...

Ugh. Decisions decisions!
