The horns of a dilemma

My sister-in-law is graduating from high school on Monday night. Normally this would not be in an issue. However, one of my classmate's firms is opening a new restaurant that night and having a huge bash. Not only will it be fun, but there will be a lot of Boston big-wigs there and the networking opportunity would be fantastic.

Plus it will be a HUGE bash.

Of course, my SIL is in Rhode Island, about an hour away from downtown Boston. It is theoretically possible that I could go to the graduation then leave immediately to return to Boston and catch the last hour or so of the party. However, the risk then becomes that I disappoint my SIL and the family, which is not worth the gain.

This is one of those situations where I wish I was the X-man who could split himself into multiple bodies.
