Love this post Debra! I call myself "plannily-challenged" so I completely relate to your post. Andrew is a bit more organized about these things, thankfully, we were upstate to see the "totality."

Thanks for sharing the utter frustration of this couple of days, Debra, and I'm so glad it worked out.

I did plan, for my daughter and I, but then, at the last moment, she was offered the opportunity by my ex-wife to travel the 500 miles west to the PA / OH border, to stand in the line of totality. She took that opportunity, although the 6 hours' travel one way with her mother - with whom there is, let's say, a challenging relationship - was difficult. And me? Well, I ended up with a pack of five sunglass and a cheap camera filter all to myself. So there was me, the filter, all the glasses, and the damn thick clouds that rolled in. Like I said, I'm glad my daughter took the chance, and saw her first full eclipse!

You've given me SOFOMO (no glasses here either, and I thought I didn't care) and a good laugh. Non-planners unite!
