We can set our watches by your backing out of the party the day before.
Hey now that was uncalled for. I have missed only the last two, if I remember correctly. I was at the hog roast, the Anti-Gore rally and march in downtown Seattle (where I met you) and at the party in Redmond(?).
If you want to keep people interested in any kind of a state chapter, you might try laying off the personal slams. I'm sorry, but familial obligations take precedence over Freeping any day of the week. With a five year old daughter and a non-political wife who marginally tolerates my Free Republic obsession, it's not easy to get away.
If you read my reason for missing this latest one, it was because I was "on call" for helping my brother-in-law move. If the house didn't close by Friday, I was going to come. It closed, so I had to help move. Would you rather I said I wasn't going to make it, then show up if I can? I can do that, if it makes it easier for you.
Or I can just drop out of the WA chapter, if you'd prefer.....
