This is what happens when you decide to take a (well-earned but) impromptu comp day off without thoroughly checking your calendar.

Somehow I forgot a meeting I had at 10:30 a.m. today. I realized my mistake yesterday and sent an email apologizing for my absence. But on the hike to my campsite, I thought of a way of attending that would be fun, if I could find a glade with a good cell signal. I hunted for a suitable spot last night and found one.

This morning I packed up camp and hiked up to where I could enjoy the sunshine and my meeting. I also took advantage of a good signal to put in a video call to the office before my meeting started. Oh, the wonders of modern technology!
