Liz, I'm sorry for your friend and sorry you have to cancel. You're a good friend to be there for them. You will be missed! In fact, it won't be the same without you!!
I'm still working on finding a way to make it work for Friday. My friends want to leave out of Riverboat at 9AM on Sat. I might have to stay close to home Fri night, so I'm still not a definite 'go for launch'. I will report back soon...
