person A: I'm having to cancel my Labor Day plans since I have to work.  My boss is taking a trip and we both can't be gone from work.  I'm disappointed.  
person B: That stinks!  What were your plans?
person A: I was going to Georgia to watch my cousin's son play in his first college football game.  It was going to be a nice family reunion type trip.
person B: I'm so sorry you had to change your plans!  Perhaps you can schedule some time after Labor Day to come and see him play?
person A: Yes_comma_ that's a great idea.  I might be better later in the season when he's used to everything.  I have to look on the bright side...right?!!!
