SUNDAY EDITIONSNO. 05GETTING THERE

The address arrives with the invitation.

Sunday puts it on the event, opens your map when you ask, and tells you when to leave.

A birthday party at ten on Saturday, at a trampoline place you have never driven to, for a classmate of your daughter's. The invitation came in nine days ago and the address came with it.

Sunday puts that address on the event. On Saturday you open the party in your calendar and tap for directions, and your map opens with the route already in it. She asks once which map you prefer, and after that she remembers.

She looks at that road, that morning, in that direction, and gives you a time. Leave by about seven fifty for the eight o'clock in Boulder. If you would rather have it in front of you before the day starts, she puts it in your morning brief.

When traffic is worse than usual on that road, the time she gives you already accounts for it. She hands you a time, not a map to read.

She answers when you ask her. That is the shape of it, and it is deliberate.

So you leave the house knowing where you are going and when to go, without scrolling between your email, your calendar and a map to piece it together. The rest of the drive is just the drive.
