1. You can no longer use tractors as an excuse for being late.
Showing up late and muttering something about “traffic being bad” anywhere else in the world doesn’t elicit the same knowing nod from people when you tell them you got stuck behind a swather for 5 miles before it turned off into a wheat field.
2. You start to dwell on every festival in Sun Valley you never made it to.
You’ve only ever heard good things about the Sun Valley Shakespeare Festival but could never find the time to make the drive. Now that you’re far from home all you can think about is what you might be missing this year. And who knows when you might have another chance to drink all day and watch hundreds of sheep being driven by Basque cowboys through Main St. in Ketchum?
