More thresholds

I called my favorite listmaker over lunch on Friday to tell him we were spending the weekend at his parents place.

1) Weekend at my place was canceled on account of broken boiler=no heat.
2) He needed to stop by his parents  to pick up more eyes.
3) Roads weren't looking good and the forecast was worse and I was tired enough that driving probably was a bad idea and I'd rather take the train to them than the bus to him.

On the train, I told my parents I wasn't sure if his parents knew yet that we'd be there. (By the time I got off the train, they did. Turns out they were out of town this weekend anyway. We helped ourselves to ingredients in the fridge and left them ice cream.)

Noting, it's a different level of comfort when someone says, "You can stay here anytime" and the point where you have an anytime come up and assume you can stay with them.
