The context of the following conversation is casey got the family together to talk about an upcoming family vacation that needed to be planned.:
casey says I called a family meeting today to discuss our vacation to the Grand Canyon..
The friend responds That's great did you guys get everything figured out?.
casey responds Not really. We ended up waiting for two hours for some people to show up and then others had to leave. I think am going to cancel the trip..
The friend responds Don't do that. I know you really wanted to go on that trip..
casey responds I did. But what's the point if no one else is interested?.
The friend responds Well your family can still go even if your extended family doesn't make it..
