Use the Force Luke

After MrGrumpy's call with MrAB and MrC (MrA was off ill, likely to be the cabin fever from being in Alcatraz II with the others),  he was off for to meet up with MrWhiteSox and MrDanish for a day of meetings.

MrGrumpy looked up the route on MrGoogle and it was pretty simple, only a couple of road changes, how difficult could it be... off he went, all went well until he had done the second turn onto "Homestead" and was looking for the next turn, past several blocks, he started to think, "uhm, was it left or right on the last turn", obviously he had gone the wrong way... It was a good job he had left 45 mins to do his 15 minute trip, he stopped on a side street and as "uses the force" had failed him, it was over to MrSatNav.

He now had 20 minutes and the trip was now going to take 16... lucky most of the lights did not go against him, but every one that did was eating away at his 4 minutes spare.
He arrived, with 3 minutes spare, now he had to find the correct lobby to meet the others, obviously his first choice was correct, but he did not see the MrWhiteSox or MrDanish, so he went to the next. When they were not there, he called MrWhiteSox, who confirmed he should be in the first lobby...
MrGrumpy arrived at the correct lobby with seconds to spare, MrWhiteSox has already signed him in, so it was fine.

The meetings wrapped up just after 5pm, a nice early day for MrGrumpy, they were meeting up for a meal with some others at 7PM over in Mountain View, not far from where they were.
MrGrumpy decided to go home and get changed first. Now MrGrumpy had so far not been travelling at peak hours and therefore had not encountered the congestion... MrSatNav has an FM receiver for travel data, it informed MrGrumpy that 6.4miles of the next 7.2 were averaging 0.8 MPH... So his 18 minute journey became about 40 mins in the end.
He did just have time to get changed, drop his stuff off and then go out again. He now headed back past where he had left an hour ago. At least the way back was not congested, so he arrived 15 mins early.
