history: I haven't been able to go camping with my buddy for a while.  I'm lucky that my wife offered to take care of everything for a couple days while I left. My buddy asked if we could go camping soon_comma_ and I haven't been able to go for quite a while.
current: Ok ,so are you gonna go?
next: Yeah, luckily my wife is cool and offered to take of everything while I went out for a couple days!
