[sigh]

Jeff called me at school today to let me know that Neal (our drummer) had called to tell him that his mom (in Ohio) was gravely ill and that he had to leave immediately. This, of course, means that we have no drummer for Oakfest tomorrow...which means that romansroad won't be playing tomorrow afternoon.

Can I possibly convey to you just how disappointed I am? I'm not sure I can adequately express it.



Totally, totally, totally bummed.

UPDATE: Mom writes to remind me that it was just about this time last year that she was gravely ill and near death, and that we need to be praying for Neal and his mommy and his family. She's right, of course, and I'm ashamed of myself for being so selfish.
