I'm very sorry about not making it to the BBQ this weekend. Somehow I missed Zoe's post regarding it, and therefore, also missed all 32 of the comments currently posted to that entry.

I want to go to the park. I want to BBQ. I want to see my friends. I want to fly kites and blow bubbles. I want to teach Zoe more Perl.

Had I known about it and informed you that I was going to be there, I wouldn't have cancelled. But I truly had no clue until last night at 1am that there was a BBQ. I don't cancel plans, or at least don't make a habit of it. And, if for some reason I do, I have a damn good reason for doing so (death, sickness, employment, friends in emergencies, etc).

I don't mean to hurt any of your feelings, or make any of you feel like I don't care about you. Not that any of you have said anything to me to support that, I am just worried that you might be feeling that way.

I really want to go, and have been trying since last night to come up with a way to make all this work out. And maybe there is still a way. I just haven't thought of it yet.
