Don,
We were bummed that you couldn't make it. It was great to do something different and the Ridge turned out nicely. If it makes you feel better, I definitely know how it is to have to skip. Fortunately, this time I was not Primary on call this weekend by luck, so I was able to make it.
And the same type reason why I've missed a few of the other meets in the past, and the same reason I'll miss others in the future.
I guess we all gotta take it and enjoy these things when we can get it!
