Can't make it.

What with further complications after major abdominal surgery, the Old Bag can't attend 2014 Escape Rally, which means I can't attend, because I have to get her to yet more doctor appointments.
She was trying to get me to go alone, but I'm not leaving her to fend for herself.

Bummer, for you both! You do what you have to do and I'll see you next year. May your wife continue on the path to healing and feeling better soon.

I hate to admit it, but I'm gonna miss your ugly mug being there, baglo.

Give Leslie a big hug, and get well wishes from us.

Hi: gbaglo... Sorry to miss meeting you... I'd do the same thing in your stead. May her healing continue through your patient love and care. Alf

Sorry I'll miss meeting the other RAV4/17B owners. Take care of yourself & the "Old Bag" (although I'm surprised she puts up with the title!)

I'm Bags, and because she is a year older, she's Old Bag.
When she calls her friends, she says, "Old Bag here".
We're gonna miss meeting you all ( many again ).
And she's the social one.

I too was surprised that "Old Bag" put up with that title.
Thanks for the explanation.

Aw crud- was really wanting to put a face to the name. Didn't think I could come, LSS abandoned the wife to get to Rally. She wanted to get daughter on a flight 6/12 to Naples. Wife flying to YVR same day; know any good camping north of Airport? Best wishes to your Mrs.

We were looking forward to meeting you - tell Leslie we hope she heals up quickly. Lots of extra protein and vitamin c for wound healing!

Best thing about this was NO KALE when she was on Warfarin, but they've switched her to another blood thinner that's about ten times as expensive. Luckily I bought into extended health plan when I retired.
Unfortunately kale and lawn clippings are back on the menu.
