“Hey dude, UPLuver and I are going to day hike the Adena trace loop on Sunday IF I can get a babysitter. You wanna go?”

“I want to. Let me double check to make sure I don't have any responsibilities, but at this point I think I'm free for both Sunday and Monday. I'll know for sure in an hour or two after I get home from work.”

“Cool. Either post something, or do you still have my contacts?”

“I'm sure I have your email at least, and your number is probably in there somewhere too.”

“I have to back out on this. Sorry. It was just too complicated for my childcare this time. One of these days we will get a hike in.”

“I totally understand. It will happen.”
