Hey John, we just got some bad news. Karen's great uncle had quadruple bypass surgery done and is in serious condition. She is very close with her aunt and uncle who are essentially her grandparents. If anything bad happens, we will likely head down to Maryland. This would mark some serious losses in this side of the family over the past months, though we are very hopeful of full recovery.

With this news and in light of all the other scary stuff going on, we are going to play tomorrow by ear and stay at or around home. Obviously, it is a bit late for me to call tonight. I don't know, we're just more comfortable staying here.

I may still shoot down to fish in the afternoon, but it sounds like you've got a full house and won't miss me. That will just depend on what's goin' on.

I'm gonna try and get some sleep now. I should be in touch tomorrow.

Greg sorry to hear of this . Karens aunt and uncle are in my prayers . I hope everything turns out for the best . they have gained in leaps and bounds with bypasses over the last 20 years .
God grant them the strength to get thru this !

I am tagging on Greg's thread, (best wishes to Karen and Greg). I will not be headed to the great little state today. Gotta deal with one of the pup's at the vet's. This one needs some attention and I have to tell the family that he won't be ready for his new home tomorrow. I'm bummed, and hope you all nail some LARGE. Lookin' forward to hooking up with some of you this fall anyway.
