It was a long commute to work. Up early, check out of the hotel; drive the
seventy miles, through Glenwood Springs, Glenwood Canyon, past Gypsum,
Eagle, Edwards, Beaver Creek, and Avon, to relocate to Vail for the next
job. Five minutes before nine, call the client for final approach
instructions. The response... Vail?
Plan B. He's in Aspen. Drive back to Carbondale, check back into the
hotel, have a quick lunch, make the thirty mile drive to Aspen, and I'm
there by one. Got in a good half-day's work today, plus a surprise two
hundred mile drive through the winter wonderland. We'll still be able to
wrap it up tomorrow.
