Olana - A place I wanted to visit again with my niece in tow (before Covid-19) and a place I wanted to visit with Vicki after an "Upstate" meetup. Unfortunately, my intentions keep getting thwarted for different reasons.

When the day opened, Vicki and I were scheduled to attend a meetup in Woodstock, NY. Afterwards, we planned to stroll around the town. It took us a while to find the group, as it was enjoying things at the restaurant's garden area, and we first thought to only look inside the building. Eventually, we found the group, and ordered our lunch. Conversation was good, especially with a new member of the group. Vicki was so relaxed, that she made verbal slips regarding my gender. So I made things easier for her and this new person by identifying myself as Trans. No negative comment from our new friend. We then exchanged phone numbers with this new member, and then broke away from the group as it started to drizzle.
I suggested that we drive up to Olana and take a tour of the mansion. Unfortunately, the weather only got worse, and it didn't make sense to tour the building. So, we headed south, and had another bite to eat in Rhinebeck. It was a nice drive with a good friend who knows me in both of my modes.

Later on, I chatted with the woman I saw a couple of weeks ago, and had a long chat. Hopefully, we'll be able to get together again soon. And then, I chatted with MWL for a while.
Sooner or later, I may need a day off to take care of things I need to do on my days off....
