Alas, I will not be attending this year. 
I'm currently recovering from a second cranioplasty, so I'm sticking close to home for a bit longer than anticipated.   

No cause for alarm as surgery went well and I was out of the hospital sooner than expected.  I just need some healing time and time for the stitches to dissolve.  Hopefully next year!

Oddly, I was back in the hospital this time on the anniversary date of what put me there one year ago.
