I am sorry to hear that! Hope things turn out for the best...
 Me living on the other side of the world makes me unfit as a proxy, but I am sure someone else will step up.

SO sorry to hear this Hobbes. But Yes she DOES take first place.  Something you will never regret.  I also was planning on going this year, was about 1 day away from making my reservations then got hit with paying a doctor bill that I could have bought more Steel with than I could have carried.
 Best wishes for your Mom.

Thanks guys.  She's just going to require someone to be with her at night for the next couple of weeks after her surgery.  I'm going to split this with my daughter since we are the only two that can take the time to do so.

Glad to hear it's not something long term.  Two weeks can be difficult but it needs to be done.  As the saying goes, been there, done that and NEVER regretted it.
 You're a good son Hobbes.

Well it looks like even the best plans can go awry.  Due to health reasons I can't make Blade this year.  I've been planning this since last summer but I think taking care of my Mother far outweighs Blade. I'm keeping my hotel reservation until the last minute in case things change but if they don't is there anyone that could proxy for me? Hobbes, I was really looking forward to meeting you in person, but your Mom DOES have priority.  Good for you for taking care of her, and don't worry about a proxy.

I was looking forward to meeting you and the other dogs I've talked to over the last year Klink but there's always next year.
 I told Skunk I would grab a brown 411 for him if they had one so keep your eye out for one.  Nothing worse than an unhappy Skunk.

Hmmmm.....I wonder how much to charge Skunkhunter?!!?  I'll gladly pay you Tuesday for a 411 today.  (Remember what that line came from, cept it wasn't originally a 411).

Sounds like a Popeye reference of sort, but all that stuff predates my youth by some time.  Some guy wanting a hamburger IIRC. lol
