common sense

I imagine a lot of children were disappointed by today's snow storm.  An absolutely perfect snow day waisted on a Saturday.  It's not fair.  After driving home from a meeting at 3:00pm this afternoon I decided not to fulfill my evening obligation.  I was supposed to work as a front of house volunteer at First Presbyterian Theater this evening, but I texted the director and told him I wouldn't be there.  I don't drive much at night in the best of circumstances but trying to find my way in the dark and snow could have resulted in damage to my car or someone else's, not to mention damage to me or someone else.  Happily, the director was very understanding.  In fact he texted me back an hour later to tell me he had cancelled the show for this evening.  I'm so glad I let my common sense win over my sense of obligation.  You're welcome, world.
