Bummer

[catsittingstill]

I've gone over the finances and looked at Mapquest and made a few back-of-the-envelope calculations, and I can't afford to go to FKO this year.  I'm in the process of getting the finances under control and it has involved some sacrifice, and it looks like this will be one of the sacrifices.

I'm sad about this, because FKO is one of my favorite cons, and I'm sorry about it to, for whoever was expecting to see me there, but I just don't see any alternative.

I know Peter will be disappointed.

Yeah. I already e-mailed him about it because I was going to carpool with him part of the way.

The Best Carpool Ever, and I won't be part of it this time. Sigh.

I'm sorry to hear that! But I do understand. Hope to see you again soon...

Thanks. Get well soon, okay?

Finances can be a pain. I'll miss seeing you. And ........ the Mammoths that aren't mammoths.

I'll miss seeing you too. I'm not sure how to break it to the mimmoths; it's Ramp's birthday and I'm sure she'll be *very* unhappy about missing it.

And you of course are one of FKO's favourite people. I will miss you.

Thank you. FKO is a chance for me to see a lot of my favorite people too. But hey--there will be other cons and other years. This isn't forever.

Drat. No sleepover! Here's hoping that OVFF will be doable. Sometimes being financially responsible *is* a bummer.

:-( I would have loved to stay at your place.

BTW--have you seen the TV show "Jericho"? There's a Deaf character in it whom I really like.

No, I haven't. I'll have to check it out.
