Winding down the travels

hrjI left NYC on Tuesday and did the train-bus-rental-car thing to get up to Augusta ME, where I've been enjoying a couple days visiting with my brother and sister-in-law, getting the tour of their current livestock (goats and chickens and geese oh my!) and finally getting a chance to see the small theater-and-studio/shop complex that they bought and have been working on turning into a going concern. (Going slowly, but to interesting places.) This was accompanied by sitting in on a rehearsal for A Doll's House: Part 2 (someone's modern "15 years later" extension of Ibsen's play). I've interspersed that with a couple of "me days" getting writing done and recovering from all the peopleing I've been doing.
This morning I got a notice that the train leg of my trip back toward the airport was cancelled and it wasn't until this evening that I had the time to play phone tag with Amtrak to reschedule. (I was concerned that it was a weather cancellation, which would affect in which direction I rescheduled.) After all that, I'll be taking a slightly later train and still getting to the Newark airport at a reasonable hour Sunday evening. I have an airport hotel room that night for a scheduled flight out Monday morning. We'll see if the planes are flying Monday. If not, I have multiple options for what to do. Playing it by ear. Life is an adventure.
