I had only two things on the docket for today: (1) Lunch with my friend from the Census, and (2) going to NYC to see an Off-Broadway play. Only the first thing went off as planned.

My friend reminded me of our lunch date early in the week, and I would have forgotten it if she had not reminded me. So I was glad to see her again for lunch at the local pizzeria. For the most part, my friend dominated the conversation. We caught up on many of the things going on in each others' lives. And we finished at the right time - just before we would have stayed too long.
After lunch, I decided to stop by the local LGBT center to say hi to a couple of the "permanent" employees there. Unfortunately, they were busy in a meeting. So I waved hello, and left as quickly as I got there. And then it was off to Lane Bryant to browse the dresses they had in stock. Again, things didn't go as planned - the one dress I was looking for was not stocked in the stores. So I'll have to order it online, and return it if I don't like it.
At this point, it was time to go into NYC to see Welcome to Clown Town. Though I made the commuter train on time, I lollygagged when dealing with the subway and dinner - and missed the play because I got the starting time wrong. (Luckily, RQS and I will be going to see the play on Sunday afternoon.) So, it was back home as quickly as I came into NYC. For the most part, I could have gone home after lunch and done something productive. But, I took it all in stride - sometimes, fortune gets in the way of life, and all one can do is avoid the worst of things that could happen.
