Timing is everything.
The three of us arrived at the park bench around 11:30 on Sunday morning. Game 3 of the series with the Cards was that night at 7:05, so I had all day to wander around downtown St. Louis. I had been to the top of the Gateway Arch on Friday and spent Saturday with activities planned by the Rangers.

I thought I would ride the riverboat Sunday morning, but discovered there was also a helicopter ride. That would probably be too expensive. It wasn't TOO expensive, but it wasn't cheap. Does this really matter in the grand scheme of things?

Timing is everything. If I had taken the riverboat ride, I would have likely missed my Divine appointment at the park bench. I did what I really wanted to do, and rode the helicopter! I made it to my Divine Appointment at precisely the right time. (A non-person would have not only avoided the helicopter ride, but the baseball game, the trip to St. Louis, and every other thing that being a real person could mean!)

Of course, this was nonsensical (probably) to Peter and Sharon. They likely have no such thoughts. To them, and most normal people, it was just a decision you make.
