[urq] Re: Recent Birth!

[Ben Swann]

This is one of the worst times of the year to plan an event like this -
there are always more birthdays(I think even statistically this is true),
Weddings - everyone plans to do this month if they can even find an opening
and therefore mmany folks' Anniversery.  Mothers Day, Class Reunions,
general spring cleanup and the list goes on, Memorial Day, Commissioning
Week, Graduations, etc. etc.  Actually if it were held on Memorial Day
weekend, there would be a better chance, as then most people are off, which
is why I may actually get to take my wife and daughter to the National Road
Rally  and vintage car show in Cumberland, MD June 3-5:
www.NationalRoadRally.com

I may never be able to attend one of these events if they continue to be
held between May1 and June 10.

I will do my best to take care of 20 days worth of work and cram into 5 days
so I can break speed records to get to Carlyle and back in a day so I can
assist with my daughters birthday, but not likely to happen at this point.

If I can make it I'll register at the last minute.  This turned out to be a
bad weekend - a wedding and my daughters Birthday party among other things,
but I will try to make it.
