What's the most important event you've purposely missed to play AH?
« on: February 13, 2013, 10:42:12 AM »
I left my inlaws house(the plan was to leave the wife and kids there and they were flying back anyway) last summer the morning of my wife's birthday to make an 8 hour drive to be back in time for AH Saturday night fun...I could have stayed through Monday, lol. I'd just received my CH gear from Dodger so it's his fault.

Many years ago, I left a medieval tourney to do a scenario. I took off my plate, but left the chainmail on for the length of the frame and went back to the tourney after the scenario frame was over.

Strangest thing I have ever done to date.

I declined an invitation to escort my wife and her mother on their annual visit to some family graves in a neighboring state.   :angel:

Hey, they knew where they were going, and there was no way I'd be back in time for DGS!   :old:

I'm going to hell, aren't I?   :uhoh

I'm guessing those graves are still there, right?

At current, yes.

Knowing my luck though, the state will claim imminent domain, move the graves and not notify the family.  If I randomly disappear one day, please, research resent cases where cemeteries were moved in the eastern US and solve my murder!
