Not in Cambridge

It pains me deep in my heart that I am not on my way to the joint AAVSO/BAA meeting in Cambridge, England. I believe our good friends Doug and Pamela are both there. I have been a loyal AAVSO member for quite a few years now and I have been to many of the meetings in exciting places like Rockford, Ill. and Las Cruces, NM. But can I make it to the one in Cambridge-freaking-England? No, apparently I can’t. Something about having a sick 4-month old baby, an energetic 4-year old, a thriving business, a very hard math class and 19 other areas in which I dabble, I am bankrupt of time. I planned on going, leaving tonight and coming home Sunday, but it didn’t make sense to try to cram an exhausting trip in just a few short days.

So, cheers, my brethren. Please toast my absence with proper British ale. For you dear readers on the right side of the pond, think about heading up to Cambridge tomorrow!
