Not going to make Chicago this year

Post by DocAitch »

Due to my bride of almost 50 years developing an unexpected illness, I will not be able to make Chicago this year.
She is doing well and the condition was fixable, but she is not quite out of the woods yet, and I dont want to leave her alone quite yet.
I will miss seeing a lot of you folks .
Ah well, I will set my sights on Columbus.
Hope to see you then.

Whenever I pay more attention to something longer than my cat thinks I should, a way will be found to Make The Human Understand Priorities Better.

Always.

Having been married before, I also know that women have a fair number of of cat-like characteristics...

Hmmm... Did you actually talk to the docs, or did wifey just relay the "information?"

:lol:
UFOs must be real. There's no other explanation for cats.

Shit man. I mean, I'm not going either, but let us know if there's anything we can help with.

Thank you everyone. Marcia is doing very well, and I don't expect any difficulties.
And yes, George, I did talk to the doctors. As a matter of fact, I made the diagnosis before they did, since I got to see the EKG and the chest x ray first.:)
I will certainly miss seeing you all.
