...not going to make it this year either.
Wish I could, but it's just not going to happen.
Thanks to everyone who offered to assist financially and otherwise - especially to Doug and Kristie for their amazing generosity! I only wish I could take ya'll up on it.
I sincerely hope I didn't insult anyone by not accepting. Believe me, I want to. (there are other reasons I'd rather not get into here, I just hope you understand).
Next year, maybe. Ya'll have fun and - once again
- I'll be living vicariously through your pictures and descriptions and feeling like the bastard step child who never gets to go.
Seriously, can't wait to hear all about it!
