Doesn’t it always seem like the day of a trip things begin to go wrong? Murphy’s Law creeps up and timelines get delayed, travel is impeded by weather or other delays, things happen at work or personally that make you wonder if you are even going to make the planned journey? I am experiencing a bit of Murphy’s Law today. I finally had a small overnight trip to my alma mater, Syracuse University, planned. Nothing elaborate, just a chance to get away for the night, show some friends my old stomping grounds and see a basketball game (I am a HUGE SU basketball fan, probably stemming from my freshmen year when Carmelo Anthony and the Orange won the NCAA tournament). The tickets arrived in the mail weeks ago (possible crisis one diverted), my traveling companions were scheduled off work (possible crisis two diverted), the hotel was booked and we got a great rate – with everything going right I should have known somewhere things would get thrown off track. The basketball team was even doing pretty great and the match up against Marquette was shaping up to be a great Big East game. AND for once, the weather in Syracuse was predicted to be snow free! Flash forward to today – I woke up this morning with all my stuff together and a plan to leave at 6 p.m. Then, I found out, we were down a person (and stuck with a nonrefundable ticket), another friend was facing roadbock after roadblock at work that would be sure to delay our departure and weather.com has issued a winter storm advisory for the whole Syracuse area. Of course! But, hopefully tonight we conquer Murphy’s Law and find a replacement, leave on time and have a great trip!  -Kimberly Krol, circulation and public relations executive
